1 " I wondered if my enemy could feel someone walking over his grave.
No reason for him to worry, though. I was only preparing it for him. "

3 " The stars possessed a more humble kind of beauty than the raging and burning centerpiece of our galaxy, and he loved the sound those distant diamonds seemed to make in the black silence. Like winking sirens luring lonely men to their deaths, drowning them in the inky sky. He was desperately in love with their mysterious nature and saw them as alluring and gentle masters of the heavens. Masters of perfection, those tiny spheres of cool light were, hanging fixed and strong in their celestial place.
Perhaps he loved the stars because he was so much like them. "

4 " Being light and ignorant seemed so easy compared to being heavy with terrible knowledge and immeasurable conviction. But I suppose someone must bear the agonizing weight of vision if the world is ever to change.
Someone has got to see the bigger picture. "

― K.B. Ezzell , Inferno (The Broken, #2)

8 " I suppose he always knew I would watch him and never judge him. I possessed within me that patient and gentle willingness all men so desire in a woman. I did whatever he told me to do without question. When I had nothing to do, I simply was there to be a cool and understanding presence who never threatened his need for control and perfection. I was the ideal woman.
And even the ideal woman lies, you know. "

10 " I cannot explain the force which pulled me to him. His sudden entrance into my empty life had awakened something very simple and very human in me. I was wondering and wishing and hoping like a fool with the rest of them. I had come undone by the magic. I wanted to believe. I wanted to chase after something vain and stupid. I wanted to forget everything. "

13 " One thing I can say after experience with both sides of the coin is that all humans get their kicks in the same careless way. Poor as dirt or rich as a king. Lacking in any worldly knowledge or as educated as a bloody encyclopedia. Crude and filthy or refined as diamonds. Free drinks and cheap music and easy thrills will make animals of the worst and the best of men. Sin does us all the same, and that is one of the truest things I have learned in my life. The simple genius of the devil is to trick you into thinking he has a different method for every man.
I wish you knew how exceptionally lacking in imagination the devil actually is. "

― K.B. Ezzell , Inferno (The Broken, #2)

14 " I studied his face and saw little stars forming in his overcast irises. There must have been a thousand shipwrecks in those gray seas. Now the tides were focused entirely on me, one lady who had become his moon. "
