If people bring so much courage to this world, the world has to kill them to break them; so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places; but those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

Love can be inconvenient, perhaps inappropriate. It can be dangerous. Make us do things we wouldn't dream of doing. But wrong? That just depends on where we end up, doesn't it?...Best we can hope for is to find a place where we don't have to pretend.

Isaak Sirko, Dexter TV series (Season 7, Episode 8 “Argentina”)

But the horror… The horror was for love. The things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you and maims you and twists you inside out. It is a monstrous love and it makes monsters of us all.

Lucille Sharpe, Crimson Peak (2015)
