“If we were in a film, the villain would turn out to be the least-expected person. But as we aren’t in a film, I’d go for the character who tried to strangle you.”
― Kerstin Gier, Ruby Red

“Then kindly recall that variation is not the same as deformity.”
― Laline Paull, The Bees

“You have a mother?" Only when I said it did I realize what a silly question it was! For heaven's sake!

― Kerstin Gier, Ruby Red

“But these words people threw around - humans, monsters, heroes, villains - to Victor it was all just a matter of semantics. Someone could call themselves a hero and still walk around killing dozens.

― V.E. Schwab, Vicious
