1 " Some people in this lifetime get to coast, tucking in early and shuffling around on lazy Sunday mornings in their bathrobes and slippers. And then there’s men like you and me. "
― Sarah Noffke , God's Little Monster (Ren #2)
2 " You make sense to me. You help me to feel like I make sense. "
3 " And she says all those sentences so calmly. So matter-of-factly. Like they aren’t the ammunition that’s about to rip my life right apart. "
4 " And, Trey, may I suggest that you fuck yourself, I say. "The only way I'm doing down dog is if I’m giving it to Dahlia. "
5 " Get on with it. Talking to you melts my soul. "
6 " Most objects are a convenience or hold no real purpose for me. But books have meaning. They have depth. They are alive. "
7 " The person who is absent is always accused. Neglect is really the easiest thing to not forgive. "
8 " You’re always playing chess with everyone in your life. Everything is about power, about outmaneuvering the other person. There’s no relationship where someone isn’t trying to checkmate you. Spouses, friends, coworkers, neighbors, it’s all a competition in one regard or another. "
9 " Generally people would rather be insane than talented, hence the reason that most choose drugs over greatness. "
10 " Books have meaning. They have depth. They are alive. "
11 " You’re British. We don’t nap. We work so the bloody Europeans can lie around all afternoon. "

14 " Most things are real, although they probably aren’t how you’ve been taught.” “So unicorns and gnomes are real?” I shrug indifferently. “I’ve never seen one, but I hate the outdoors. "
15 " I hate malls. Hundreds of repulsive people milling about with their dumb faces and their sick obsession with scoring a buyer’s high. They fill up their shopping bags with rubbish they don’t need all while emptying their already pathetically low bank accounts. "
16 " You took me in, but you keep me out. "
17 " My life without you in it makes zero sense. "
18 " I know who I am with her. I’m the man I want to be, the one who is proud to be a monster. "
19 " I’ve been in hiding for almost two decades,” I say. “So excuse me for not being around to tell you to slit your throat before you created a huge problem. It’s never too late and that’s my advice. You’re dangerous and should just off yourself and save us all the trouble. "
20 " It’s hard being in a world that doesn’t understand me and that I can so easily break. It’s a wretched combination, like God was hoping I’d try and destroy his world and was just testing my self-control. "
