Blue Moon

"Love sucks. Sometimes it feels good. Sometimes its just another way to bleed."

"But once you embrace the screaming darkness, eventually, you kill."

"There was a look in his eyes of such sorrow, of a shared knowledge of how many times you never really meant what you said, but the monsters were listening, and they always took you at your word."

"You're all mine, and no one hurts what's mine. Its not allowed."

"Some things are just true; you don't have to voice them, they just are. And somewhere along the way I'd started collecting people. My people. It used to mean friends, but lately, it meant more than that, or less."

"Death, jewelry or magic; it sounded like Valentine's Day."

"Been there, done that, wasn't impressed, didn't bother to get a t-shirt."

"Its your power that makes my heart beat, your pulse I can taste like cherries on my tongue."

"Somewhere in the first blow or the second, I'd broken something inside myself that would never heal. And I was content with it."

"My imagination was not going to be my friend for a while."

"You're this pretty little thing. You shouldn't be chopping peoples fingers off."

"The monster wasn't breathing down my neck; it was inside my head. Inside my head, fat and well-fed."

"I'll tell you the real horrible truth, Anita. No matter what you do or how bad you feel about it, life just goes on. Life doesn't give a fuck that your sorry or upset or deranged or tormented. Life just goes on."

"I can kill and not blink. Now I can torture and not regret it. I've become one of the monsters, and if it will save Richard's family, I am happy to be one."

Burnt Offerings

"I listened to my voice as I said it. I sounded tired, almost bored, and so serious it was almost frightening."

"Love is never free, Jean-Claude. Its the most expensive emotion we have."

"Love isn't the most expensive emotion, Asher. Hate is. Because hate will eat you up inside and destroy you, long before it kills you."

"Kill or leave him the hell alone, like any big predator. Don't fuck with it unless you can finish the job."

"It cut both ways, and I wanted to make my point deep and sharp."

"Not the dreams where we are hunted by the monsters, but the dreams where we are the monsters. We raise bloody hands to the sky and scream, not from fear, but from joy. The pure joy of slaughter. The cathartic moment when we plunge our hands into the hot blood of our enemies and there is no civilized thought to stop us from dancing on their graves."

"We're all creatures of light and darkness. Embracing your darkness won't kill the light. Goodness is stronger than that."

"I seemed to have that effect on people. Hard to be bright and shiny in the middle of a kill zone."

"Self doubt is a self-fulfilling prophecy."
