Two Sides Quotes

But now, much to my own shock, like a man who suddenly realized he was no longer a person he recognized, that other impossible, illogical, mad side still had a very firm grip on me.”
― Marisha Pessl, Night Film

“You Kongori do not believe in magic and spirits.”

“I am not Kongori, but you speak true, I do not believe. Some people believe the goddess speaks to leaves so they grow, and whisper in a spell to coax a flower to open wide. Others believe that if they just feed it sun and water, both will make them grow. There are only two things, Tracker: that which men of wisdom can explain, and that which they will explain. Of course you do not agree.”

“To protect human nature from easy distractions some people poeticize the beautiful aspects of love, ignoring its darker side, while others exaggerate the evils of love, prescribing renunciation.

“Don’t do that.”

“Don’t do what?” she asks, peering at me with worry etched into every feature on her face.

“Fear a name,” I state, and her head rears back, eyebrows pinching as she frowns at me.

“If you’re going to be a raging bitch, then be a raging bitch. Don’t hide your true colors out of fear. That’s more distasteful than my dirty boots on your untouched floor.”
