“Blaming yourself is like a curse eating you from within, a rogue virus, cancerous and poisonous. It will drive you mad if you let it .”
“I don't particularly like confrontation. Unfortunately, confrontation seems to like me quite a lot.”
“Traaaiiinnn,” Roc repeats slowly, sounding out the word for me like I’m stupid. “T-R-A-I-N. Spell it with me, Tristan.”
“There are some things more important than your own life. Like friendship, and love, and trust, and goodness.”
“No beast of reality, or creature of imagination, is as terrible as mankind. Or as loving. It’s a contradiction. I’ve always liked contradictions. Today I see both sides of the coin unveiled in gruesome and beautiful imagery, captured by my eyes and filed away in my mind, like still shots taken by a world-renowned photographer.”
“Sometimes, girls, you have to hit your lowest low just before you hit your highest high. It makes you appreciate the good things so much more.”
“I find that the less emotion I put into life, the less the past seems to hurt.”
“My dad used to say the definition of stupidity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Or maybe that was the definition of crazy.”
“Do demons even have to brush their teeth?”Chris chuckled. “I brush my teeth and even floss sometimes. I also eat, shower and sleep, too.”
“As they say, with great power comes great responsibility.”“Are you screwin’ with me, man?” Taylor asked bluntly.”
“Sometimes it's best to hide in plain sight.”
“You'll learn far more by listening than you ever will by speaking.”
“I haven't done anything, except be born.”
“The beauty of physical pain is that it wipes out the other forms of pain.”
“Pain is the great equalizer, the cure to mental anguish, the antidote for a hopeful heart.”
“My brain is telling me to stop staring at him, but for some reason I can't. It's almost... instinct... to keep on looking at him.”
“It's like my mind knows to stay as far away from him as possible... but my bones, my skin quiver in his presence.”
“It's like she was metal and I was a magnet, Roc. But at the same time it felt like someone had shoved an electric wire into my skin and was frying me from the inside. It hurt like hell. No, worse than hell, Roc. And yet, somehow across the distance, through the fence, over the mob of people, I felt a pull to her, even though I knew it would hurt me to be closer to her. I probably would have just let it go, chalked it up to male hormones, but then when she acted so strong, pushed that guy... I don't know, since then I can't get her out of my mind.”
