“Your belief in love wasn’t strong enough to overcome your fear of rejection”

“Why might a little girl harbor such tangible fears of demonic possession? I'm sure the deeply religious paradigm I was steeped in played a role. We firmly believe in Satan's power and the ability of his legion of fallen spirits to possess individuals. We believe that evil can inhabit physical forms, sometimes fleetingly, sometimes for extended periods. Having been raised to believe the very air I breathed was thick with unseen forces battling for dominion over my soul, it was a small step for my young mind to imagine that battle raging in my own bedroom.”

“The idea of not existing brought a perverse sense of relief, even as the rational part of my brain fought against it.”

“I suppose it's not a compromise if only one of you considers it such, but that was what our compromises tended to look like. One of us was always angry.”

“That sounds, not great. I like myself okay, but I don’t need myself talking to me all the time.”

“I fall for it, of course, as she knows I will.

‘Why can you never, ever, ever say anything nice?’

She flicks a glance at me. "Because it's so much more fun bullying you, obviously.’”

“Marla's philosophy of life, she told me, is that she can die at any moment. The tragedy of her life is that she doesn't.”

~ Fight Club ~

[pineapplewritingco]

“She's such a jagged cluster of contradictions. I had no idea that anyone could be so ferociously self-sufficient, and at the same time so emotionally unstable. One moment she's flirtatious and tender, covering my face with kisses, the next she's spitting the most wounding things at me that she can think of. I know her cruelty is just a front, a way of protecting her fragile sense of self, but it pierces me like a knife every time. Because right now, if I don't have her I don't have anything. And she knows it.”

- Eve

“There were so many other things wrong with the way SeaWorld approached compensation. It may seem petty to complain about money when the quality of life of the whales is so dire and appalling. But compensation reflects the way a corporation values its employees and its assets. And if the company didn't care enough…to pay them well, Sea World was unlikely to have moral qualms about exploiting their whales.”

“‘Oh, please, Vivi, you're impossible. You haven't even had your coffee.’”

~ Codename Villanelle ~

[pineapplewritingco]

“Against that behemoth, you can feel utterly alone and powerless. When you are trapped by a whale that has gone over to the dark side, you still can hope that you can look the orca in the eye and redirect him or her. But in SeaWorld the corporation, there is no soul to peer into.”

“More thoughts. More feelings. Always more thoughts and teelings. Exhausting, constant thoughts and feelings.”
