Dirty Souls (Sins Duet, #2) QUOTES

1 " Some would say karma, but Javier never much believed in that. What he did believe in was that sooner or later, everyone will be at the same level, everything will even out. It was just luck if you were alive to see it happen. "

― Karina Halle , Dirty Souls (Sins Duet, #2)

2 " This is us. This is the edge of danger. This is a love that has changed everything for everyone. "

6 " You don’t last long in this line of work if you feel more than others. Only the strong and the armored survive. You need an extra layer of skin, of Teflon, of Kevlar. "

7 " The wind blows back my hair and I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so alive and electric before. Maybe this is how life is the moment before you die, everything exploding around you to make saying goodbye that much more bittersweet. "

― Karina Halle , Dirty Souls (Sins Duet, #2)

8 " ...what do people who start to fall do? They lash out. They focus, so sharply, on the things that went wrong in their lives and the people who wronged them. They don’t look inward to see what they did wrong. They look outward. "

― Karina Halle , Dirty Souls (Sins Duet, #2)

9 " Time is an incubator. In some cases, it changes people. In others, it lets things grow and hatch. Too much time and it turns into a monster. "

10 " The surf was out of control and wild. The wind was powerful. So powerful it was hard to stand up. But I felt free. So damn free. It was beyond euphoric. It was practically cathartic. Spiritual. I remember so clearly the feeling of that wind sweeping off the Pacific, assaulting my face with brine and secrets from the deep. I closed my eyes, held my arms back like I was going to fly. The sun beat down on me, birds flew close to shore. I’d never felt so in tune and connected with the world before. "

11 " People, at their core, are inherently bad. Do you know this? Do you know that if someone drops their wallet, and you return it to them, you are rare? Some would say, stupid. Some would say that person’s wallet was a gift from god to you and you should have taken it and the money in it. It’s yours now. It’s not anything to do with survival. It’s self-entitlement, lack of morality. People do this without remorse or guilt. Every single day. People kill, hurt, maim, rape, without remorse or guilt. Every day. "

12 " We’re going to get through this,” he whispers hoarsely. “You know this. You know what we’re both capable of. You know we’ve buried it but it’s still there. We’ve got a lot of fight left in us. This is only the beginning. "

― Karina Halle , Dirty Souls (Sins Duet, #2)

13 " I need to figure out how to keep this forever. Her, me the open desert. I don’t fucking need anything else. I may be young but I know enough that sometimes you don’t need the world. You just need that one person to rule the world with. "

― Karina Halle , Dirty Souls (Sins Duet, #2)

14 " No matter where you are. Violet, you’re under my skin. You’re in my bones. You’re in the sun, the moon, the light in my dark. Your heart beats in the air I breathe and I don’t know how I survived this long in the world without it. "

― Karina Halle , Dirty Souls (Sins Duet, #2)

15 " I never thought I could love, never believed it would happen for a man like me. Sometimes I wondered if it even existed. But then you stepped into my world and became my world and now it’s all that I know.” He takes in a deep breath, his expression softening. “I love you, my mirlo. I love you to the point of danger. Danger because where you go, I will go. Because I will do everything and anything to keep you with me. This isn’t the end of us. There will never be an end of us. Ever. "

16 " Why do you have your gun out?” she whispers, following right behind me. “Always be prepared,” I tell her as we step inside. I close the door behind me, locking the deadbolt and the top lock. “Boy Scout motto, isn’t it?” “Yes, but when they go camping, they bring extra matches. Not firearms. "

― Karina Halle , Dirty Souls (Sins Duet, #2)

17 " Good people do bad things,” I tell her. “All the time. It’s called being human. "

18 " People make parenting out to be easy. It’s not. Just because you’re a parent doesn’t mean your flaws, your past, goes away. No, it stays with you. I know it’s hard to accept when you’re their child, but believe me, they’re trying their best. And that’s all a parent can do. Try their best. Remember, no one is perfect, even those that pretend they are. Just look at the life I lived. Eventually life gives everyone a good hard slap in the face. "

― Karina Halle , Dirty Souls (Sins Duet, #2)
