Famous Carissa Broadbent Quotes

“I love you. I loved you from the first moment.' Bubbles of blood formed at the corners of his mouth. His gaze drifted past me, to the night sky. Then it dragged back to me- the movement slow, laborious, like he was working very hard to make sure I was the last thing he saw. 'So many mistakes in the end,' he choked out. 'Never you.”

“Does nothing bother you?' he said. 'You seem totally unmoved that you almost died.' I didn't tell him that I was almost always dying. 'I don't have time to waste on useless things,' I said.

Because in this moment, with that smirk on his lips, I glimpsed the man of the legends. The monster of the whispers. 'Curiosity,' he said.”

“I know what it feels like to be helpless,' I ground out. 'You don't. You don't know what it feels like to be surrounded by five men and know you can't stop them from hurting you. You don't know what it feels like to see the people you've grown up with wither and die. You-' You don't know what it feels like to watch yourself die.”
