Thirst Quotes

“I look in the mirror. All my pieces are shattered. I look closer and I wonder if my soul is on the other side. I look inside me and I’m empty, full of lies and betrayal. All I do is bleed and bleed. Am I that insignificant? Am I the sacrifice? The soft-spoken words written as the ink dries, whispering death on poisoned lips. I’m alone as you are no more. My wings will heal, and I will fly away––never to be seen again.” The room goes deathly silent. You can hear a pin drop. I look up but refuse to look over at Dravin. I will never look into his eyes again. “Raven?” I hear his soft-spoken voice, but I don’t look, and I don’t answer. It is like he is a ghost. An imaginary shadow I made up in my mind and in my head. Even if he haunts me in my dreams, I refuse to acknowledge him when I’m awake. “Look at me,” Dravin demands quietly. There is this thing about ghosts I read somewhere. You don’t have to acknowledge them when you don’t want to. In this case,”

“You will meet a girl one day, Dravin. She will be different than all the others. Whole and pure-hearted. She will come to you like a Raven. It will all make sense when you meet her. She will call to you like no other. Protect her, and she will guide you. She will teach you things I cannot and your father is incapable of. Everything will make sense to you. What the meaning of life is. There will be only one like her. When you feel lost, she will be there. Don’t ever take her for granted, and you must protect her because if anyone finds out that she means more to you than all the others, they will destroy her or, worse, take her away from you. Always remember, she is not like the others. “How do you know all of this?” I ask. “Because it happened to me, and I didn’t listen. I took him for granted. I tried to love your father, but he deceived me, and I don’t want it to happen to you, Dravin. Follow the order, but don’t let it turn you into something that makes you a monster.” “Okay, mom. I promise.”

“Reid, Valen, and I are the sons of the three founding families that founded the Kenyan University. Valen is a sophomore and the youngest of us. He is insatiable. The guy fucks like he is starving in the middle of the desert. As for me, I’ve never fucked a girl for more than one night. One night of sinful pleasure is all I ever want and all I ever need. Otherwise, they all get clingy and expect more. That is when we play. We hurt. We destroy. We show them what they don’t mean to us. We’ve always done it. Every girl. Every time. Except her. Gia will never be the target of our wrath.”

They can survive in the face of danger and are considered spirit animals. They date back centuries. Most people think they are a bad omen but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Seeing one is actually good luck. Ravens are beautiful birds with black wings just like your hair.”

“three paintings I recognize. The first is Ary Scheffer’s, Francesca da Rimini painting showing a couple in lust. The second painting is John Collier, depicting Lilith with a snake wrapped around her body known as a demoness for thirst and revenge[KW1] . The third painting is of Francisco Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son but if I remember it correctly, it is argued that the body being devoured looks like a female instead of male.”
