1 " I don’t think that monsters are all bad or evil, actually. I think what they have is a story, "
― Saffron A. Kent , Gods & Monsters
2 " Why is it so easy for people to hate but not to understand? Why is it so easy to judge and conclude but not to take a second to listen? Probably because they are afraid of realizing how similar they are to the things they hate. How similar they are to the monsters they are so fucking afraid of. "
3 " They don’t understand that when a boy with enough heat to burn the sun falls in love with a girl, he torches the whole world. "
4 " I have faith. Maybe this is why people chase God. They chase something higher, bigger than themselves because it’s peaceful. It’s relieving. It gives them time to live their life in the moment and not in the past or in the future. It’s an act of courage to put your faith in something like that. Maybe that’s what religion is. "
5 " A French philosopher once said that every man is born a blank slate. No one is either good or bad, not until they come in contact with other people. Only then, a man takes shape and becomes something, a monster or a god. Often times, both. "
6 " It’s not the judgment of others we should be worried about. It’s the judgment we place on ourselves. It’s the fact that it’s you sitting in the dark, inside a small box, all alone. It’s you who’s gotta bear the shame of your sins while the world is moving on. "
7 " They have no idea what death is. They have no idea how it feels when someone you love is gone. You can’t reach for them. You can’t touch them. You know in your heart, in your very bones that they are no more. They don’t exist. Where you saw their faces, their smiles, there’s only a void. You see the casket. You see their closed eyes. You see that their chest is not moving. Their body is lying useless. That’s what death is. It’s black. A vacuum, without body, without substance. Without breaths. "
8 " There’s poetry in nature. A symmetry. "
9 " I have a feeling that New York City has a place for everyone: the runaways, the misunderstood, the lovers, the strugglers, the drifters, the successful. In this city, our love will grow. This is our adventure now. "
10 " He looks like a god with a million monsters trapped inside him. Or maybe he’s always been a monster who looks like a god. "
11 " only monsters love this way: crazily, insanely, madly. Like there’s no tomorrow. Like the world is ending. Like their heart would burst with all the painful love they feel inside that tiny organ. We’re both monsters, then. "
12 " He shakes his head, his eyes almost on the verge of leaking but somehow, hold the water in. “It’s stupid.” I hug him. Tightly. So I can absorb all his pain. So I can make him see what I see. "
13 " We’ll be our own gods. You be mine and I’ll be yours. "
14 " He looks like a god with million monsters trapped inside him. Or maybe he's always been a monster who looks like a god. Because only monsters love this way: crazily, insanely, madly. Like there's no tomorrow. Like the world is ending. Like their heart would burst with all the painful love they feel inside that tiny organ. We're both monsters, then. "
15 " I’m not afraid of monsters. I never was and I never will be. I always thought every monster has a story, and turns out, I was right. "
16 " Yeah. Gonna crawl inside you, Pixie. So you never run from me again. "
17 " the pillow and when I open my eyes, I’m looking at myself. Oh shit. I forgot about the mirror. It "
18 " It’s not the world that tears them apart, it’s them. Only they have the power. "
19 " They will read my stories, re-read them. Maybe they will love them, hate them or maybe they will feel nothing at all. But they will remember me, and maybe even talk about me for years. "
20 " I want you in my life and if I have to sell everything I own, even my soul, I’ll do it. My mom used to say people with no souls are monsters. I don’t mind being one if I get to keep you. And I’m keeping you, Evie.” A current runs through me when he says my real name. “I’m fucking keeping you. Even God can’t snatch you away from me. "
