“I'm often painted as the bad guy, and the artistic part of me wants to hand out the brush.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“I am not the heroine of this story.

And I'm not trying to be cute. It's the truth. I'm diagnosed borderline and seriously fucked-up. I hold grudges. I bottle my hate until it ferments into poison, and then I get high off the fumes. I'm completely dysfunctional and that's the way I like it, so don't expect a character arc where I finally find Redemption, Growth, and Change, or learn How to Forgive Myself and Others.”
― Leah Raeder, Black Iris

“The theistic philosopher has a tendency to devalue insufficient worldviews, ideologies, and quite often common sense for the greater good, and in such cases, one should not be discouraged when seen as a bad guy. If he stresses over man's perception of a righteous heart, then he has given his heart to man.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

― Mya Robarts, The V Girl: A Coming of Age Story

“...in my own perilous position, and above all, in the remarkable game that I saw Silver now engaged upon-keeping the mutineers together with one hand, and grasping, with the other, after every means, possible and impossible, to make his peace and save his miserable life.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island

“You have haunted me in my dreams,
Followed me in my memory,
And enamoured me鈥�
鈥颈谤惫补苍补鈥�
Your name echoes in the most silent parts of my mind,
Brought to life by the memory of your touch, And the gentle sway of our bodies to the jazz music
You have become my obsession,
Of which I will never tire.

“Sometimes the road to redemption is a winding one.”
― Nicole A. Birchfield, Lazarus Rising

“This girl is beyond forbidden. She is mafia royalty, a princess in her own right. She has lived and breathed a world that I have only watched and preyed upon from the shadows. She is a lamb being abducted by the wolf.”
― Alexis Abbott, Killing for Her

“Do you know who I am?鈥� she asks.
鈥淚 do, Anastasia."
鈥淲here are you taking me?鈥� she finally asks, an uneasy edge to her voice.
鈥淪omewhere safe."
鈥淎m I safe with you?鈥� The question sends a shiver through my body of desire mixed with intrigue. The way she puts her questions is strange. She seems to be angling for something that I can鈥檛 put my finger on.
鈥淲e鈥檒l see.”
― Alexis Abbott, Killing for Her

“I stare at Diane's smile. I would die for that, though I barely understand why.”
― Frank J. Fleming, Fathom

“So it seems the case that plenty of everyday people are in deed 'hate-filled' (but it's unreleased) - the beast within is caged - until they unleash it, this secret, in 'agreement', on some common foe, and though like a freer bill, the pay is still rage.”
― Criss Jami

― Ella Fields, Nectar of the Wicked

“He sits ramrod straight, like a man beaten out of slouching and twitching as a boy. Like a man of gentility, unaccustomed to dark corners and dank basements--at least from this side of them. He does not seem exactly unfamiliar with the unsightly. With the putrid. And maybe that's only from having to scrounge out a living in it, now that he's lost everything--a man of misfortunes.

Maybe it's because at another time, he was the man with the power to snuff things out in the dark.”
― Allie Ray, Suffering Fools

“The Ballad of Harry Lime by Stewart Stafford

Harry found existence overrated,
And its shadow, morality, so outdated,
Scurrying rats down here in the sewer,
Porcine gluttons in punished manure.

Grand aspirations from primordial slime,
Lifting up the rock from time to time,
Samson, destroying a temple of hypocrisy,
And every pillar - hope, faith and charity,

They'd had him from baptism's font,
Trapped before wording his wants,
A heel dipped in brackish liturgy,
Silent collusion in mass duplicity.

For those who remained in smoky rubble?
Rudely awakened from a cocoon bubble:
An obelisk erected to grotesque finance,
Charon鈥檚 fee for a Stygian dance.

“I mouth along as Taylor Swift sings about how everyone agrees: it's her that's the problem.
Same girl, same.”
