141 " Just know, if you choose to be fucked, there’s no going back.” “Do it. "
― Keri Lake , Ricochet (Vigilantes, #1)
142 " Scars came in different flavors. The selfish variety, like the one on her wrist, spoke of a different kind of struggle. "
143 " Create. In loss or suffering, there can be joy in creating something that didn’t exist before. Creation and healing are born of the same thread. Bringing something to life can sometimes heal the soul, while still honoring what a person has lost. "
144 " What had she done to deserve the wrath of an evil man? "
145 " No. You can never replace what’s lost through art. In fact, a number of pieces I’ve created were made out of rage and frustration, for that very point you just made. I’d give anything to have my mother back. "
146 " Nothing can be painted over black, though. No matter how many layers of color you paint, the blackness beneath it will always bleed through. "
147 " I’m not saying you consciously want to hurt me. But I think, deep down, something inside of you craves an end to your pain. "
148 " You’re a good man. And I couldn’t have chosen a better father for our son. "
149 " I’d been hardened. Trained to withstand even the darkest desires. A small part of me was ashamed to admit that I found solace in that darkness. That I craved depravity and pain. "
150 " I like slicing clothes off of you. I want to buy you a whole fucking wardrobe of shirts and panties that I can rip to shit whenever I feel like it. "
151 " Touching skin meant touching the soul, connecting with another person in a way that couldn’t be made pure and chaste again. "
152 " Because,” I said, “I want all of you. And if this is who you are, then this is what I crave. "
153 " Two broken halves, with jagged edges that seemed to fit together in some messed up way. "
154 " Okay. I’ll do this. God forgive me if I hurt you. "
155 " Every video sent pulses of excitement through my body, clenching my stomach, and drenching my panties. "
156 " According to Newton’s Law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. You punch a brick wall, your knuckles bleed. You shoot a gun, it recoils. You destroy a man’s life, he seeks revenge. An eye for an eye. "
157 " The man was an enigma. A torn mind. "
158 " I’d been a zombie, moving through the human experience as if I’d had any place there. "
159 " Crazy, beautiful girl.” I kissed her slowly, tasting her lips one more time. “I would’ve run with you. If things had been different. You’d have been the one woman to make me give it all up. "
160 " What made me a good man has turned me into a killer. Love. "
