“Abuse is simply a contrived attempt at gaining power, but power is all in perception. A man may gain the upper hand by raping a woman, but he loses that advantage when a woman becomes willing. Men think sex is a weapon and it is, but not one to be wielded by a man. A woman must know where her power lies and use it shamelessly. I will use whatever means necessary to succeed, and I will never lose, even if I have to sacrifice every fragmented, blackened shard of my soul to win.”
― L.P. Lovell, Bad

“I hid in my books for so long that now I can't help comparing the fictional world to reality. And let's just say, I'd rather live in a magical alternate universe some days.”
