1 " You don't need to be violent to be a bully. One word is all it takes to destroy the kindness within the soul. One word is all it takes for you to remove your halo and smash it into pieces so fine that not even a miracle would be able to put it together. "
― Arti Manani , Seven Sins
2 " What does it mean, bad things happen to good people? I wonder. What does one have to do to be crowned a good person? What does it take to be considered a bad one? Who decides what is good and what is bad? Who makes that judgement? Who has that right? "
3 " Does it make me a bad person? Or does it make me human? Maybe I'm just a monster. "
4 " Yet here I am now, wondering where I messed up. Wondering when I became a bad person. A sudden thought creeps into my head and I wonder, maybe I've always been this way. "
5 " I was a bird trapped inside a cage that I thought I'd been released from, still confined and limited to where I could fly. I'd been holding up my umbrella to avoid the rain but I never stopped the rain from falling. "
6 " I focused so much on my conscious mind that I forgot about the one beneath it, the one that wanted to talk but could only whisper. I'd suffocate those whispers and I'd feed the silence, but it was still there, hidden but not discreet as it pierced my insides with the sharpness of its thorns, growing inside me within the darkness of my soul. I continued to pretend it wasn't there, that I was okay. Because everyone else's opinions, although they shouldn't matter, they did. They did and it made all the fucking difference. "
7 " Like an animal, I adapted to the world around me until it became my norm. This is me now. I'm a killer... "
8 " When you're done with being used, you become desperate to fight back and it doesn't matter how far you go, as long as you go. It's like a bomb that's ticking inside you and the longer you keep it in, the louder the explosion and the greater the damage. "
9 " Not everybody looks sad when they are depressed. "
10 " Pride or shame? What's the difference? "
11 " Her fierce and angry soul hides amongst the beauty of her light. She's deadly and contagious as she blazes from person to person burning all that she touches. She roams without a shadow and she doesn't want to be seen. She lives in the form on humanity and it's hard to tell. It's hard to tell who is infected with her evil and who is not. Fire, it's a dangerous thing. "
12 " I don't see the fire, I see colours. Beautiful colours dancing in the dark, waiting to torch the souls of many, charming them with their gentle waves until they magically transform life into the darkness of death, all with nothing but the flickering spark of the dancing flame. "
13 " When you don't have a voice, you can't stand up for yourself. "
14 " Talking. It's important and I wish I fucking did it. "
15 " Memories. That's all I have left. Memories of all the good I've done and all the bad too. "
16 " A mirror doesn't give a man a true reflection of who he is. It doesn't show him what's on the inside. It doesn't show him the things he covers up with a smile whilst standing in front of it, telling himself he's okay. Death will. His true form will stand before him, stretched out forming the thickest, darkest truths he's ever seen.I don't want to be there when I die. Death. Although it comes once, it lasts forever. "
17 " If someone else fails at doing it for us, we do it to ourselves Humans. We self-destruct. "
18 " Maybe I'm just tired. "
19 " We are all flames waiting to be fed "
20 " Do I stand alone in the darkness, or do I rise in the shadows? The choice is mine, but what they fail to tell me, is that it doesn't make a difference. Either way, I am destined for destruction. "
