Quotes by Gem Sivad (?)

“The little witch had no faith in him. Of course he wouldn’t let evil have her. He’d bite evil in the ass, shake his slimy soul until his teeth fell out, then gorge on the soft tissue of his belly and make him watch being eaten alive.”
― Gem Sivad, Cat Nip

“Evidently her wolf couldn’t decide whether to bite Deacon McCallister or lick him. Miri had the same problem.”

Gem’s Quotes

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“Is sex dirty? Only when it's being done right.”

“Love is a circular emotion that surrounds you, like a hug. Or a noose.”
