1 " The fact is, losing you would hurt ten times worse than having half my face blown off, but I’d keep going. I’d go on living because I don’t know any other way.” Her "
― Skye Warren , Beauty & the Beast (Beauty, #1-4)
2 " She couldn’t have known love without heartache. He couldn’t have found solace without pain. "
3 " Fuck me like you’re mad at me. "
4 " She deserved to be cherished, but all he could think was to hold her down and fuck her. She deserved to be worshipped, but he imagined his every sinful dream upon her body. Most of all, she deserved a better a man, one whole and unbroken, but he would never let her go. "
5 " Do I think love is enough? It’s the only thing at all. "
6 " Have sex in my office because those girls insulted me. "
7 " I won’t rush you, because I need you to be sure. Once you’re with me, I’m not going to be able to let you go. "
8 " I may not always be near you, but I will never be far away. If you’re ever in trouble or need something, you let me know. Promise me. "
9 " You and me against the world, "
10 " What a different world it would be if we walked around with signs that proclaimed the worst thing that had happened to us. "
11 " Once, he had needed her. He’d leaned on her strength and followed her light. Now, he knew that he could live without her. It was dry and boring and cold, but he could do it. He just didn’t want to. "
12 " So damn beautiful. You look like a goddess. Like a warrior. Like you could slay me and you do. Just looking at you ruins me. I love to look at you. I could look at you lying spread like this forever. Open to me, wet and flushed—forever and never grow tired. "
13 " How dare anyone—how dare he—question his value? He was everything she could ever want in a man. "
14 " This was his nightmare. His worst fear was being left behind. "
15 " This is the last day of class, so I need to tell you that you are all activists. Each one of you and every person you pass on the street. Even if you sit back and hope someone else will fix the problem. You can’t ignore the problems in the world. Your inaction is action. If you see the problem, if you’re observing it, you’re already having an effect. The only question is what that effect will be. "
16 " Being back in society was a laugh a minute. "
17 " He felt vaguely guilty tying her down. Just not guilty enough to stop. "
18 " He was a scholar, so goddamned intelligent he couldn’t see the writing on the wall. He wanted answers to life’s tragedies when their very unfair nature meant they had none. "
19 " Like the eddies and entrapments of life, they could only face each obstacle as it came. No promise of smooth waters, just a partner for the journey. "
20 " Not good enough. I’m going to buy up all the land around here too. Or maybe I can find an island. We’ll make a country for just the two of us. "
