“He tried to sacrifice you,' Jacks growled. 'He's a monster.'

'I'm not saying that Apollo was a good person,' Evangeline said. 'I just keep thinking that you've changed, and it makes me feel as if he should get a chance to change as well.'

'I think he's already gotten everything he deserves,' Jacks grumbled. 'And if it wasn't for you, I would never have changed. I wouldn't have been foolish enough to end up stuck in a tree, but I guarantee I deserved something similar.'

“Another cloud bank drew across the moon. In the darkness, she ate. She ate as the ravenous hunger spurred her on. She stripped flesh from bone and savoured the metallic warmth of blood on her tongue. She kept eating and ripping and chewing. Soon she would be full. Soon. Almost.”

“While I was getting boogers wiped in my hair during Biology, he was being spit on in Social Studies.
A common story.
But there was a day, a sunny day in May, I’m sure, when at exactly 2 P.M., we both looked out of the window of our different schools and � What?

We didn’t wish—wishes are wasted �
We didn’t hope—because our future was inevitable �
And we didn’t pray—we were on our own.
So we sent out energy bullets: “This is for New York.�
“This is for when I get there.�
Little pockets of energy, to be saved and accumulated and used upon arrival.

I was so scared it was all going to be gone by the time I got there. Ninth grade, tenth grade—can’t this thing go any faster?

In the magazine, there were funny people with funny names like John Sex, who had wild white hair and a snake!—and didn’t that just open up a kaleidoscope of new possibilities?
And how long the years are—endless! And the minutiae of your daily life! So tedious, when there are BIG THINGS happening a thousand miles away. And when you go to bed at night, it’s hard to believe those people, those fabulous, daunting people, are out there right now!
So we wait, and we endure, and someday we will be there, and we will make it.

And, by golly, we did.”

“You're a monster.'

Hawke's eyes flared an intense gold, and they weren't normal. They'd never been natural. 'You finally see me for what I am.'

I did.

He was a thing of nightmares hidden in the guise of a dream, and I had fallen for it. I fell so hard.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, From Blood and Ash

“Just like you need to understand that there is no way out of this. You belong to me.'

My heart turned over slowly. 'Don't you mean I belong to the Dark One?'

'I meant what I said, Princess.'

'I don't belong to anyone.'

'If you believe that, then you are a fool,' he taunted, pressing his head to mine before I could lash out. 'Or you're lying to yourself. You belonged to the Ascended. You know that. It's one of the things you hated. They kept you in a cage.'

I never should've said anything to him. 'At least that cage was more comfortable than this one.'

'True,' he murmured, and a heartbeat passed. 'But you've never been free.'

'True or not.' And it was painfully true. 'That doesn't mean I'll stop fighting you,' I warned. 'I won't submit.'

'I know.' There was an odd tone to his voice, one that sounded like... admiration. But that didn't make sense.

'You're still a monster,' I told him.

'I am, but I wasn't born that way. I was made this way.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, From Blood and Ash

“Erniedrigte Frauen funktionierten wie die Monsterkurve. Man knickte sie, knickte sie wieder, und sofort vervielfacht sich ihre Monstrosität, raumfüllend, selbstausweichend.
Verlassene Frauen nahmen monströse Züge an. Verstoßene Frauen wurden zu Furien, zu Drachen, ein quasi natürlicher Prozess, der allerdings beinhaltete, dass diese Frauen auch schon zuvor als Drache respektive als Furie galten. Jeder wusste, dass es solchen Frauen nur recht geschah, man wunderte sich meist, dass es nicht früher dazu gekommen war, dass der Mann es überhaupt so lange ausgehalten hatte, kein Wunder, dass er nur noch wegwollte, volles Verständnis, zum Glück keine Kinder.
Spürte sie denn etwas, das Wachsen von Hauern, von Hörnern, den triefenden Geifer, das schlangengleich kriechende, kringelnde Haar?”

“Most humans think I'm..." He shrugged awkwardly. "Attractive or whatever at first, but when they get closer, they get this... I don't know. Repulsed look on their face, like they can't work out what's wrong with me, but they know there's something.”
― Lily Mayne, Moth

“You’re a monster.â€� Those childlike words echoed off the walls and he cringed as the marquess wheeled back to face him. Fighting for courage, Dominick pressed on. “My father has devoted his life to Tallings Iron and you come here,â€� he slashed the air with his hand, “and bankrupt my father. Leave us destitute. Without so much as an apology?â€� Tears filled his eyes. Then, what good would an apology do?
A hard grin split Lord Rutland’s lips. “If you learn nothing else, know this: never make apologies for who you are or what you have done. You may despise me, for actions that your father is guilty of, but I own who I am. Your father has not.â€� And then with an infuriating dismissiveness, the marquess continued his slow walk down the hall.”
