“I think that certain levels of hate require so much commitment and motivation to nurture, that it's basically love.”
― Lauren Evers, Possession

“I feel something like a chrysalis, like the husk left behind. There's the thought that he won, in the only way he could ever truly win; he took me, became me, erased me. But, of course, that's impossible: I'm still here. So why do I feel like I'm less now?”
― Lauren Evers, Possession

“Why do you hurt me?

I LOVE YOU.

You’re incapable of love.

NOTHING EXCEEDS MY ABILITIES. I AM ALL.

You’re a book. Pages with binding. You weren’t born. You don’t live. You’re no more than the dumping ground for everything that was wrong with a selfish king.

I AM EVERYTHING THAT WAS RIGHT WITH A WEAK KING. HE FEARED POWER. I KNOW NO FEAR.

What do you want from me?

OPEN YOUR EYES. SEE ME. SEE YOURSELF.

My eyes are open. I’m good. You’re evil.
