King of Code QUOTES

1 " Sometimes I feel like I’m a stranger here. In my own hometown. It’s always been that way. Then I drag you here. It’s been less than a week, but I have moments with you where I feel like you and I, we’re strangers, but it’s temporary. Like there’s about to be knowing between us I don’t have with anyone else. "

2 " You smell like the roses. I smell like the thorns. "

3 " What was that about?” “She’s a famous boyfriend stealer.” “Okay, one”—I held up a finger—“I’m not your boyfriend. I’m half of your binary pairing.” She pushed me so hard I had to take a step back or fall over. “You’re the one to my zero?” “I’m your mate. A boyfriend can be stolen. A mate can’t.” I held up a second finger. “Two, she’s not my type.” She crossed her arms and leaned on one hip. “Is there a three?” “Three.” I made a W. “Knew it.” “You need new friends if you can’t trust the ones you have.” “Did you text the kettle to tell him he was black, Mr. Pot? "

4 " The way everything she said made me smile had to be the Stockholm Syndrome. "

6 " You’re very cute when you’re thinking.”
“And when I’m not thinking?”

7 " Okay, you know what? This was fun. But I could have done it myself. I could have driven here with my GPS, parked at the guardhouse, walked here, and been in the same barrel of shit as I am now. No, I would have been better off because I would have had a car. So, no, I don’t want to cut you into little pieces. It’s not my thing. But my God, if I were a cut-a-girl-into-little-pieces kind of guy, this would be the day I started. "

8 " They call you Hard-on in school?” Johnny asked, proving that inside, he was more tattoo than polo. “Yes. Yes, they did.” “You punch ‘em? Or did you cry?” “I fucked their girlfriends. "

9 " Who made this woman? What cruel god put together the sweetest traits with this level of joyful filth? I’d never met anyone like her. I didn’t know if I’d said that to myself before, but I was sure I’d say it again. She was a complete original. "

10 " Hurt it. I wanted to hurt it so my anger had a place to go. If I didn’t eat her alive, I was going to digest myself in my own acid. "

11 " I was so fucking crazy about this girl. I was losing my mind, and I didn’t know how much longer I could fight it. I wanted to save myself, sure. But I wanted to lift her up. Show the world what they’d missed out on. Present her like a jewel in a box then keep her for myself. "

12 " The thing about money, Mr. Harden, is that it burdens you with expectations. You get this impression that everything you do matters to other people. And it’s not true. Everything doesn’t matter. Only some things matter, and those things have to be attended. But the rest? "
