1 " A child is the quickest to trust because they have no concept of the depravity of our species. "
― A.R. Torre , The Girl in 6E (Deanna Madden, #1)
2 " No one is normal. Everyone is just pretending to be normal. "
3 " Hope, in general, is dangerous. Hope can be the loose thread that pulls apart your sanity. "
4 " When you are the darkest presence in the room there is very little to fear. "
5 " Pity is a bitch I’d like to avoid. "
6 " I don’t mind being killer-crazy, but I don’t want to be loony-bin-crazy. That would probably be bad for business—a bit of a turnoff. "
7 " The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. "
8 " They believe what they see, because they want to believe. They want to believe that I am normal. And for the brief moments I am with them, I fool myself into thinking the same thing. "
9 " It’s funny how your mind will create an image of a person and how wrong your mind almost always is. "
10 " None of them really know the true me. I am who they want me to be, and they like it like that. So do I. "
11 " I hate my former self; hate her selfishness and her lack of appreciation for her perfect suburban life. I had everything in the palm of my perfect, lazy hand and didn’t even realize it. "
12 " The first shrink I had said I have anthropophobia, which is fear of human interaction. Anthropophobia, mixed with an unhealthy dose of dacnomania, which is obsession with murder. "
13 " Disappointment in others is tough. But disappointment in yourself is far worse. "
14 " AGEPLAY: A form of role-playing in which an individual acts or treats another as if they were a different age. Ageplay is between adults and involves consent from all parties. Typically, ageplay involves someone pretending to be younger than they actually are.6 Ageplay can have sexual tones but is not considered to be pedophilia, though it can involve role-playing of a child-adult relationship (such as a daddy’s girl scenario). "
15 " But if done correctly, stripping can be the ultimate foreplay, a sexual seduction that can wipe clear any rational thoughts and leave a man totally and utterly at your mercy. "
16 " Would I like to run free through life, have friends, fall in love, feel the sun on my face? Yes. But that is no longer an option for me; there is no point in dwelling on and torturing myself over it. "
17 " Nice guys occasionally do win. "
18 " I’ve taken those drugs, and I don’t want the life they would bring. To have a free body but a caged mind? To stumble through the world in a zombielike state, never feeling anything, never conscious enough to really know anyone? I’d rather live my life as it is. Where I experience everything, even the horrific fantasies of my psychotic mind. "
19 " Then he drove home, to an expectant wife and a warm dinner. And he realized, with shock, that he felt no guilt. That the fantasies he’d been harboring his entire life had finally been satisfied without any negative side effects. "
20 " That part is kind of fuzzy, because then I went all Xena Warrior Princess on his ass. "
