Quotes by Kristi DeMeester (?)

“Everything devours itself. Lust. Hate. Love. We burn and burn until there is only ash, and then we eat what remains. Carry it inside of us like a secret. Until it grows into something else.”
― Kristi DeMeester, Everything That's Underneath

“In the end, we all wear our brutality like beautiful cloth in the name of love.”
― Kristi DeMeester, Dark Sisters

“At school, there had been a mild panic among the students, and parents kept their girls at home, locked in their proverbial towers as if wood and locks couldn’t be opened. Or broken. Those pure, innocent girls kept from anything that defined them in the name of protection, while their brothers carried on as if there was nothing to fear. But for them, there wasn’t. They would never understand the inherent trepidation that came as a result of being wrapped in girl flesh.”
― Kristi DeMeester, Such a Pretty Smile
