1 " these scars prove I’m a survivor, so why the fuck would I hide them? "
― Siobhan Davis , The Sainthood: The Complete Series
2 " I love how you own who you are. No apologies or fucks given, "
3 " The logical part of my brain agrees with you, but there’s an innate part of me that thinks everyone else will react the same if I show them who I truly am. "
4 " I want to live my life freely. But that’s the antithesis of control, so how do I marry the two? "
5 " You can be free and still be in control. Isn’t that what freedom is? Having control over your life to live it as you please? "
6 " Her sexual confidence, and the way she makes no apologies for her appetite, is one of the things I love most about her. "
7 " ask, "
8 " I hate assholes who believe they have a God-given right to objectify a woman just because she’s wearing a sexy dress. I should be able to wear whatever the hell I want without being perved on. "
9 " Guess I have a higher pain threshold than pretty boy here.” “You’re not human,” Galen grumbles, his green eyes flickering open and shut, but there’s no heat behind his words. “Damn straight.” I flash him a grin. “I’m a goddess among men. "
10 " Haven’t you ever heard the saying ‘the calm before the storm’? Because that’s a pretty apt depiction of what it looks like inside my head right now.” I swirl a hand around myself. “Don’t let this exterior fool you. I’m a fucking tornado waiting to happen. "
11 " I find it hard to chastise her—unless she’s being deliberately naughty—because she’s curious about the world and desperate to know everything there is to know, and I never want to tame her excitement or stifle her exuberant personality. "
12 " Fuck whatever else is going on in our lives. Nothing is more important than caving to our carnal desires. "
13 " Lo has this way about her that sucks all the red-blooded males in. And it’s not because she’s hot or smart or mouthy, which she is, but it goes deeper. She’s like a magnetic force-field, drawing people to her with ease. "
14 " I know I’ve buried shit rather than face up to it in the past. Before I realized that is how tormentors continue hurting their victims. The only way to take back power, to regain control over your life, is to face your demons head-on. "
15 " He can do whatever he needs to do to work through his emotions, but he doesn’t get to shut me out, and the sooner he realizes this is the way things are going to be from now on, the better it’ll be for all of us. "
16 " You both want the same thing. It’s the way you are going about it that’s all wrong, and if you don’t speak up now, irreparable damage may be caused to your relationship "
17 " I’m proud of my scars,” I say. “And I never hide them. They remind me every day that I’ve faced off with monsters and come out stronger. "
18 " Why does God punish good, kind people over and over, yet evil pieces of shit like Sinner Lennox get to stroll around the place unencumbered by his sins and his many crimes? It makes no sense to me, and the unfairness reeks. It’s one reason I gave up on any notion of a God years ago. "
19 " I’m not surprised you’re the one who’s caught their eye. You’re pretty damn special, and they better make you feel like that because they’re not worthy of you otherwise. "
20 " The journey would’ve been tougher, but I would’ve come through it in the end because I didn’t want to be a victim. I’m a survivor, and I will always choose to live. "
