“But these words people threw around - humans, monsters, heroes, villains - to Victor it was all just a matter of semantics. Someone could call themselves a hero and still walk around killing dozens. Someone else could be labeled a villain for trying to stop them. Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human.”
― V.E. Schwab, Vicious

“The fact is that we have no way of knowing if the person who we think we are is at the core of our being. Are you a decent girl with the potential to someday become an evil monster, or are you an evil monster that thinks it's a decent girl?"

"Wouldn't I know which one I was?"

"Good God, no. The lies we tell other people are nothing to the lies we tell ourselves.”
― Derek Landy, Death Bringer

“She had always found villains more exciting than heroes. They had ambition, passion. They made the stories happen. Villains didn't fear death. No, they wrapped themselves in death like suits of armor! As she inhaled the school's graveyard smell, Agatha felt her blood rush. For like all villains, death didn't scare her. It made her feel alive.”
― Soman Chainani, The School for Good and Evil

“Most have been forgotten. Most deserve to be forgotten. The heroes will always be remembered. The best. The best and the worst. And a few who were a bit of both.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Feast for Crows

“The villains were always ugly in books and movies. Necessarily so, it seemed. Because if they were attractive鈥攊f their looks matched their charm and their cunning鈥攖hey wouldn't only be dangerous.

They would be irresistible.”
― Nenia Campbell, Horrorscape

“We are all fragments of the Source that have chosen to have an experience outside of Source and play different roles in a theatrical play of sorts. Some will play heroes and some will play villains; without all the characters, there wouldn鈥檛 be a play to enjoy. No play lasts forever, as that would cease to be entertaining and become boring. When the play is over, the curtain will fall. When the curtain rises, all of the players will be holding hands and congratulating each other on their well-played characters.”
― Jasun Ether, The Beasts of Success

“You don鈥檛 think monster girls and wicked boys deserve love?”
― Holly Black, How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories

“Heroes don't exist. And if they did, I wouldn't be one of them.”
― Brodi Ashton, Everneath

― Laini Taylor, Days of Blood & Starlight

“The role of the villain is only determined by who's telling the story”
― Penelope Douglas, Nightfall

“People are not born heroes or villains; they鈥檙e created by the people around them.”
― Chris Colfer

“The Darkling just stared out into the waves. I considered shoving him over the railing. Sure, he was hundreds of years old, but could he swim?”
― Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm

“No one just starts giggling and wearing black and signs up to become a villainous monster. How the hell do you think it happens? It happens to people. Just people. They make questionable choices, for what might be very good reasons. They make choice after choice, and none of them is slaughtering roomfuls of saints, or murdering hundreds of baby seals, or rubber-room irrational. But it adds up. And then one day they look around and realized that they're so far over the line that they can't remember where it was.”
― Jim Butcher, Cold Days

“What exactly are we looking for?

Villains, doing villainous things.”
― Marissa Meyer, Renegades

“She should have know that villains often come with pretty faces.”
― Anna Godbersen, The Luxe

“You learn eventually that, while there are no villains, there are no heroes either. And until you make the final discovery that there are only human beings, who are therefore all the more fascinating, you are liable to miss something.”
― Paul Gallico

“She didn't want someone to hold her while she cried and tell her it would be all right. She wanted fury, she wanted rage, she wanted a villain to tell her she'd done exactly what she needed to do.”
― Stephanie Garber, The Ballad of Never After

“This is how The Jewel operates. Status is our sole occupation. Gossip is our currency.”
― Amy Ewing, The Jewel

“Not all girls like the hero. I was fated to fall in love with the villain. Because I know, I just know that he鈥檒l put me ahead of everyone. Himself included.”
― Rina Kent, God of Malice

“We always vilify what we don't understand.”
― Nenia Campbell, Horrorscape

“I might be the villain of this story.”
― Rebecca Makkai, The Borrower

“Heroes are more than just stories, they鈥檙e people. And people are complicated; people are strange. Nobody is a hero through and through, there鈥檚 always something in them that鈥檒l turn sour... you鈥檒l learn it one day. There are no heroes, only villains who win.”
― Joel Cornah, The Sea-Stone Sword

“Here is a story that鈥檚 stranger than strange.
Before we begin you may want to arrange:
a blanket, a cushion, a comfortable seat,
and maybe some cocoa and something to eat.

I鈥檒l warn you, of course, before we commence,
my story is eerie and full of suspense,
brimming with danger and narrow escapes,
and creatures of many remarkable shapes.

Dragons and ogres and gorgons and more,
and creatures you鈥檝e not even heard of before.
And faraway places? There鈥檚 plenty of those!
(And menacing villains to tingle your toes.)

So ready your mettle and steady your heart.
It鈥檚 time for my story鈥檚 mysterious start...”
― Robert Paul Weston, Zorgamazoo

“Why aren't crazy people content to take over, like, one town? It always has to be the whole word. They can't just control maybe twenty people. The have to control everyone. The can't just be stinking rich. The can't just do genetic experiments on a couple unlucky few. They have to put something in the water. In the air. To get everyone.
I was tired of all of it.”
― James Patterson, Angel

“It's good to be queen.”
― Marissa Meyer, Renegades

“I couldn鈥檛 make sense out of what I was seeing. There was a shiny metal arm about an inch thick with a joint in the middle and a knob on the end. The arm was knocking the knob against the window. The oddest thing was that the arm wasn鈥檛 connected to anything. It appeared to be floating by itself in midair!”
― C.A. Knutsen, Tom and G.E.R.I.

“What do you see when you see me?' She asked him, burying her own face in his bosom.
'Do you want the truth?'
She nodded.
'The firing squad.'
'That's not the whole truth. Try again.'
'Insatiability,' he said with some bitterness.
'That's oblique but altogether too simple. Once more,' she insisted. 'One more time.'
He was silent for several minutes.
'The map of a country in which I only exist by virtue of the extravagance of my metaphors.'
'Now you're being too sophisticated. And, besides, what metaphors do we have in common?”
― Angela Carter, Heroes and Villains

“Moriarty smiled his adder鈥檚 smile.

And I relaxed. I knew. My destiny and his wound together. It was a sensation I鈥檇 never got before upon meeting a man. When I鈥檇 had it from women, the upshot ranged from disappointment to attempted murder. Understand me, Professor James Moriarty was a hateful man, the most hateful, hateable, creature I have ever known, not excluding Sir Augustus and Kali鈥檚 Kitten and the Abominable Bloody Snow-Bastard and the Reverend Henry James Prince. He was something man-shaped that had crawled out from under a rock and moved into the manor house. But, at that moment, I was his, and I remain his forever. If I am remembered, it will be because I knew him. From that day on, he was my father, my commanding officer, my heathen idol, my fortune and terror and rapture.”
― Kim Newman, Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D'Urbervilles

“And no tale was ever heard of him again.”
― Amanda Foody, All of Our Demise
