"Skittles?"

"Please."

I dumped some into his open palm, then picked out the green ones. Aiden grinned at me.

Shrugging, I popped them in my mouth.

"The few times I've seen you eat them, you leave the green ones behind."

Deacon popped his head between our seats.

"You probably don't want to know what I get off on.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, quote from Apollyon

Everyone stared at me.”

Popular quotes

“I will follow him to hell, and that is saying not a little, as I believe him entirely capable of the descent.”
― Alexandre Dumas, quote from Twenty Years After

“This was no longer art: it even destroyed the harmony of the portrait itself. They were alive, they were human eyes! It seemed as if they had been cut out of a living man and set there. Here there was not that lofty pleasure which comes over the soul at the sight of an artist's work, however terrible its chosen subject; here there was some morbid, anguished feeling. 'What is it?' the artist asked himself involuntarily. 'It's nature all the same, its living nature––why, then, this strangely unpleasant feeling? Or else the slavish, literal imitation of nature is already a trespass and seems like a loud, discordant cry?”
― Nikolai Gogol, quote from The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol

“A difference in self loathing? Please. The only difference between a gun and a rope is the time it takes to tie the knot.”
― Holly Black, quote from Zombies Vs. Unicorns

“One of the few comforts I have when looking at images of distant suffering is the hope that the starving child with flies on his face doesn't know how pathetic he is. If all he knows is misery, maybe his suffering isn't as bad.”
― Evan Wright, quote from Generation Kill: Devil Dogs, Iceman, Captain America, and the New Face of American War

“Looking back upon millennia of history, it appears clear that no race or culture has monopoly on wartime cruelty. The veneer of civilization seems to be exceedingly thin – one that can be easily stripped away, especially by the stresses of war.”
― Iris Chang, quote from The Rape of Nanking
