Quote by A.M. Rose

“You’re fun to play with, you know,” Emmerson whispered, like a secret. “No one has ever told me that before,” he answered, just as low. “Good,” Emmerson said, lolling his head to the side and exposing his adorned neck. He glanced at him from under his lashes. “That means I get to keep you all to myself.” West was hypnotized, burning up, going crazy. This felt like a fantasy, and he didn’t want to wake up. Ever. In fact, if it was all going to be ripped away from him in an instant, he needed more. “You can keep me,” he said, meaning every word.”

“[...] If you don’t really want to wait for your person, you could go out and find anyone. Someone more…I don’t know. Just more." [...] “How can there be more?” he asked, and Dorian frowned. “What?” “How can there be more than you?” [...] “How can there be more, when you feel this good in my arms?” he said, pulling him closer. “How can you think there can be more when you taste like this?” He pecked his lips again. And again. And again. “How much more could there be when the thought of you close to me makes me go insane?” he said, lowering his head and kissing the soft skin just behind his ear, hearing him moan quietly. He took his hand and placed his palm in the middle of his chest, allowing him to hear his heartbeat. “How can there be more when this is what you do to me?” he whispered into his ear, kissing the shell of it right after his words, and Dorian caved.”

“My heart knows it’s you. That’s the only thing I could think of. I couldn’t empty my mind because you’re there all the time. And so that’s what comes out.” “Me?” Hayden asked, and Dorian nodded. “The way you make me feel. The way I feel when I hear your voice or your laugh. It’s the softness of your hair under my fingers. It’s the breath you let out in my ear before you wake up in the morning. It’s how you read to me before bed, how you carry me when there’s puddles on the street, and how you always muss up my hair even more even though you always mock me about how messy it already is. Everything is you. But it’s because I already love you. It’s because I know you, and I’m drawing you because you’re everything I know. We can’t know that you’re my soulmate. Because this isn’t how this should go.” [...] “Why can’t it be enough? That I make you feel like this.” He motioned toward the pictures, knowing Dorian couldn’t see. “You used every color you owned. Every last one. That’s how much you feel for me. And it’s not enough.”

“When people say they do not care what others think of them, for the most part they deceive themselves. Generally they mean only that no one will know their vulgarities; and at the utmost only that they are willing to act contrary to the opinion of the majority because they are supported by the approval of their neighbours. It is not difficult to be unconventional in the eyes of the world when your unconventionality is but the convention of your set. It affords you then an inordinate amount of self-esteem. You have the self-satisfaction of courage without the inconvenience of danger.”

“It [women's culture] survives also because it's central fantasy, and the one this book elaborates, is the constantly emplotted desire of a complex person to rework the details of her history to become a vague or simpler version of herself, usually in the vicinity of a love plot”
