1 " It’s odd to see how no one is really human to us until we talk to them and realize there’s barely any separation between who we are and who they are. "

2 " It's odd to see how no one is really human to us until we talk to them and realize there's barley any separation between who we are and who they are. "
3 " The closer you got to anything beautiful, the less beautiful it became. Allure was in the mystery, not the appearance. "
4 " Beware the fury of a patient man. "
5 " It’s just you, Little Monster. Own it or it will own you. "
6 " The shy ones tend to be the baddest after all. "
7 " The perk about being the quiet girl was not many people really got to know you, which left you the advantage of surprise if you ever decided to switch gears in situations just like this. "
8 " When you want to make an impression and you think you’ve gone far enough, go a little further. Always leave them wondering if you’re just a little bit crazy, and people will never fuck with you again. "
9 " The only way we find out what we’re capable of is by getting into a little trouble. "
10 " Own it. Don’t apologize for who you are. Own it. You can’t win if you don’t show up, right? "
11 " Those who are patient, plan. And beware the man with a plan. "
12 " Well, it's like you're saving your energy for something. Holding back. But it doesn't make any sense. Life is one-way, and there is no return trip. What are you waiting for? "

14 " Redefine normal. None of us know the full measure of our power until we start pushing our boundaries and pressing our luck, and the more we do, the less we care what others think. The freedom feels too good. "
15 " The most valuable lesson anyone learns in life should be learned as early as possible. That you don’t have to live in the reality someone else had invented. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. Ever. "
16 " Run all you want, Little Monster,” he said, sounding like a threat. “We’re faster. "
17 " Own who you are,” he commanded. “And don’t apologize. Do you understand? Own it or itwill own you. "
18 " And from Michael—as well as Damon, Will, and Kai—I learned to breathe fire. I learned to walk as if the path were carved for me and me alone, and to treat the world as if it should know I was coming. "
19 " I’m not playing your games. You were wrong.” I crossed my arms over my chest. “You want to know what I’ve learned? I don’t win by playing your games. I win by making you play mine. "
20 " Things done in the dark hours of night, behind closed doors, or in the heat of the moment looked a lot different in the morning, out in the open, and with a clear head. "
