1 " I didn’t sell my soul to the devil or dance with her on a clear night. I ran up to the devil and I stole the mask she wore and I’ve worn it comfortably for quite some time. "
― Sarah Noffke , The Man Behind the Monster (Ren #1)
2 " Nothing lasts forever. Everything is fleeting. And yet, that’s the very reason that life has meaning. When things cost effort to gain and are finite they are of value. "
3 " I’m fairly certain God takes notes out of my book. He should. If he knows what’s good for him. "
4 " Second chances don’t ever, ever come along. You go and seize them. "
5 " What’s the point in having one another if we’re just going to allow each other to die when the time comes? "
6 " There will never be another Ren Lewis. And that’s why God gave you such impossible talents. Because you were meant to do things humans shouldn’t. That is your talent and your curse. "
7 " He always looked at her in a studious way, as if he was trying to piece her together like she was a marble puzzle. A statue he was constructing from parts of her abstract soul. "
8 " When I was born God made an awful error. He allowed me to live. "
9 " No one actually likes wine. They just like being snotty about what they choose to get drunk on. "
10 " People will tell you that money doesn’t buy happiness. They’re bloody right. It buys experiences and power and influence and that’s a whole lot better than stupid happiness. "
11 " Most would think that I’m a god with every reason to be happy. But I’m a mistake God made. Too much power doesn’t create happiness. It steals it. To have it all means there’s no struggle and without having to pay a price, nothing has value. I wasn’t gifted with powers. I was cursed with them. "
12 " People are crazy to the ones they love. "
13 " I can’t tell you how many times you’ve given my life meaning because the occasions have been too numerous. "
