“Beautiful women were an asset to most men, even men who were taken couldn’t bring themselves to ignore a woman in distress. It was not because they always wanted something, but because they couldn’t help responding. Virtue was something always worth protecting because there was so little of it left.” MenLoveHeartWomenBeautyVirtueValueBeautiful Women Book:Dead End Drive Source: Dead End Drive
“And this is how it happens. Someone does something shit to you, makes you suffer, maybe you die, and you get tunnel vision for the revenge you want to feel in your hands—The punishment you believe you deserve to dole out. You come back to find the fucker that ruined your life and you’ll do anything you can to get them back. You can’t see anything else and everyone becomes collateral damage to the pain you have to cause or the justice you have to find. It hurts too much to think of what someone else took from you, that you can’t see anything outside of the future you can’t grasp anymore. Then, when you hurt someone else because your focus is on whoever fucked you up, they come back feeling the same pain, same anger, their future taken from them too and it just keeps going, again and again, over and over, until everyone’s been promised mutual destruction by proximity and nothing else matters. No one cares about any story that’s not their own. The pain caused is invisible to everyone else until it becomes personal and everyone’s reaching for the thing that blew their lives to pieces. Regret and rage are toxic seeds, planted to consume the heart.” HeartRegretHorrorRevengeRageGhost Book:Plead More, Bodymore Source: Plead More, Bodymore
“I don’t think there’s a way to get away from the past. We can heal, but we can never forget the shame that hangs from us. We carry it in our hearts no matter what anyone says and it turns to rot which turns to actions, justified by the pain.” HeartPainPastHurtTrauma Book:Bodymore Zero Source: Bodymore Zero
