Kaylin McFarren QUOTES

1 " As Sloan approached the door, Paul Lyons lifted his eyes to watch her leave. He found himself wondering why after all these years they couldn’t manage to get along for a lousy twenty minutes. Perhaps it was the result of their inability to compromise—to give each other the benefit of the doubt. Or maybe they’d both simply lost the ability to trust another human being and believe anything good could come of this world. "

2 " Rachel slid inside her silver Kia and slammed the car door, grateful that the museum’s security guard was now watching from a distance. If he hadn’t been, she might have acted on a homicidal impulse and run Chase over, the manipulative jerk. In fact, it made her feel better just to imagine it. "

3 " Never settle for normal, Miss Lyons,” Shinzo told her. “Normal is not natural. Extraordinary is natural, and that’s why you’re here. To do something extraordinary. "

4 " You haven’t got a clue, Devon,” Akira spat out. “I would have chosen any life other than the one I have. I envy your naïveté. Your belief in the possibility of love. I know you don’t understand any of this or who I am, but I was like you at one time. I only wanted to see the best in people. To believe this world was filled with hope and kindness.” Her bitterness was apparent. “I thought compassion came with understanding…with seeing inside a person’s heart and knowing their true mind. But I was wrong. Nothing in this world is what it seems. "

5 " After 48 years of marriage, isn’t it amazing when you can look at your partner sound asleep next to you and still believe they have potential. "

6 " Devon watched her face as the corners of her eyes crinkled a little, her cheeks blushed, and her whole face came alive. He decided then and there that he would spend the rest of his life making her smile and protecting her heart—the way she had protected his. "

7 " Sadly enough, there were no laws against killing one of your own, denying their existence, or even threatening a demon’s life—not in the bowels of Hell. "

8 " Hecate set her jaw straight and looked down at the demon. “Rot in Hell,” she growled. The demon smirked. "I’m already here and so are you. But I won’t be the one rotting.” He jabbed the tip of his blade into Hecate’s middle, earning a painful moan. “Smite is my name and you best not forget it. My offer stands but you won’t be able to... unless you agree. "

9 " You see, Katie," Pastor Ron said, "that’s what makes faith so tough to grasp, but also makes it so wonderful. It’s all about believing in something—whether it’s God, or other people, or even yourself—when you’ve got nothing else to go on. Nothing but a little voice inside telling you it’s more than a hunch. "

10 " She chuckled, and smiled, and realized that perhaps it was best not to share too much, at least not yet. Feeding slices of her life to her best friend over a long period of time could be the best way to keep him from choking. "

11 " Soaring in the heavens, away from all civilization, would allow her the freedom she needed to escape from reality and the gravity of what people thought. "

13 " Don’t degrade your souls to the extent of believing in curses,” Samara told them. “Nobody can curse you except your maker, and mine is patiently waiting for our return inside the Gates of Hell. "

14 " Revenge requires taking oneself apart from the noise of men and of things, even from what resembles them; only the twisted soul remains. The consequences of my actions can not be remedied nor can they be wiped away. Eight deaths I must atone for in the afterlife. I’m cursed in both worlds. But one more job and my obligation ends. One more kill and I am free. – Akira Sato, Twisted Threads "

15 " I didn’t know until that night that the world is full of monsters. Monsters with dark souls and claws, waiting for the chance to tear you apart. "

16 " Foolishly, he had proclaimed his love for her in front of his friends, and now deeply regretted his words, his vulnerability, his weakness where Samara was concerned. He would never make that mistake again, yet at the same time, he couldn’t stop thinking about her and the kisses they shared. He sensed something was terribly wrong, but he refused to act—refused to humiliate himself further. "

17 " Crighton’s lips curled in disgust. “People are so eager to sell their souls, and believe me, the devil’s always buying. If he’s impressed, he’ll give you a chair in Hell…a place where there’s standing room only. He might even give you a thorny crown to rule over the damned, cruel and forgotten. But I’m not here to reward you, Benjamin Poe…although one day you might wish that were true. I’m here to collect an overdue debt and the wicked soul that goes with it. When my task is done, I’ll leave the same way I came. And if you’re lucky, demon-fearing and honest, you’ll never see me again. At least, not in this lifetime. "
