61 " Women are not good for much. Not that I'm sexist. Perhaps I should rephrase. People aren't good for much. Maybe men even less so – they can't do anything for me, most of the time. At least I can fuck women. And the very best kind of women, I can even use "
― Stylo Fantome , Church (Church, #1)
62 " Do I think having power over life and death is equal to greatness? Yes. Yes, I do "
63 " I want to become a part of him. I want to get so close to him, he'll never have to speak again, because I'll just be able to read his thoughts. I'll just be inside of him. "
64 " Greatness. Go seek out your greatness "
65 " He's magic. He's the devil. He's inside me now, in my blood, in my brain. Why isn't he always talking to me? Why isn't he always looking at me? Why aren't we together right now? He's it. He's my moment that I've been waiting for. He's the greatness I've been missing. "
66 " She does have a certain charm about her, even I have to admit. Beautiful and damaged, like a rose in a vase. Lovely and doomed to die. She looks at me with those eyes. "
67 " Boys with their hard dicks and their bad decisions. So easy. You can fuck them and then you can leave them, and they think they're so bad ass because they got to nail the chick – alright, high five, hoo-rah! And they don't want you contradicting anything they say, so they leave you alone "
68 " she felt for Church was moving so far beyond obsession, they hadn't even invented a name for it yet. Emotional cannibalism? She wanted to be inside his thoughts. His touches. His every waking moment. "
69 " No matter what happens. Okay? You said you love me – that means forever "
70 " I've been alone in the dark for so long, I actually thought I was the only person who could exist within it "
71 " I want us to be more. Braver. Better versions of the monsters we were. She was right, bullying is beneath me. Revenge is beneath me. It's tainted me, made me unclean. I have to purge those thoughts, those feelings, and start over again "
72 " Ithink it's grossly unfair that we can't control our emotions. Virtually everything else, it comes naturally to us. We can stave off hunger, we can keep ourselves awake against our will, we can hold our urine, all kinds of things "
73 " Yet when it comes to feelings, they're virtually impossible to control "
74 " Really, though, he'd had very little control. His fear and anger had warped and twisted into petty revenge. For years now, he'd been fueling himself on that need for revenge "
75 " You wanna know what happened to bring me to this moment? I took a breath, and then I ran into you. I was fine until you. You with your fucking mouth that never quits, making me feel like I can do all these things I've always wanted to do. Just you, okay? Nothing happened at Columbia – you just happened here. "
76 " Begging isn't nearly as fun when there isn't a life on the line "
77 " He believed in her love for him, and bizarrely enough, he was beginning to believe he could really love her back. Out loud, in real life, with actual words "
78 " There is no anything. No point. I'm unlovable. Ruined beyond repair. Broken "
79 " God, it was so unfair. To have to choose between his greatest fantasy and the first girl he'd ever loved "
80 " All you've ever done is use her for your own profit "
