“Hello,” I say, and his body goes completely still for a moment before he looks up at me. He glances over his shoulder, as though wondering if I’m speaking to someone behind him. I grin. “Hello, you.” “Hi.” I sit down across from him. “How

“I don’t hold a grudge. I cradle it. I coddle it. I feed it fine cuts of meat and send it to the best schools. I nurture my grudges, Rollins.”

“¿Qué importa quién mató a
quién? Los dos matamos a alguien. ¿Pero acaso todos los seres
humanos no somos iguales? ¿No valemos lo mismo? Un clearing. El
día de nuestro juicio, Ernesto y yo nos podremos quejar de que no
cometimos el crimen que se nos imputa, pero no vamos a poder
decir que somos inocentes. En el fondo, nadie es inocente. Aunque
todos seamos animalitos de Dios. Alicia, Charo, Ernesto, yo. Matar a
uno o a otro no cambia mayormente la pena o el castigo. Sí la culpa.
Yo no me hubiera permitido matar a Alicia. Mucho menos a Ernesto,
que es el padre de mi hija.
A Tuya sí. Tuya es otra cosa.”

“In any case, right in this moment, the demon was wearing the infinitely lovely face of a cocubine. Being felt up all over by those lovely hands, Shen Qingqiu inevitably became embarrassed, and he involuntarily shrank back a little.
This vision—that moment—struck Luo Binghe to his core.
Until now, he'd only ever seen Shen Qingqiu's aloof and remote attitude, his derisive expression. But here and now, a faint, uncontrollable red flush formed on that face, and the way those eyes darted away... Also, Shen Qingqiu's upper body was completely bare but for the thin yet unbreakable immortal-binding cable and the red marks it left, and for Shen Qingqiu's long, disheveled, jet-black hair—neither of which concealed anything.
Luo Binghe's chest was burning with a convoluted emotion that was impossible to describe.”
― The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong, Vol. 1

“Humanity is so weird. If we’re not laughing, we’re crying or running for our lives because monsters are trying to eat us. And they don’t even have to be real monsters. They could be the ones we make up in our heads. Don’t you think that’s weird?”

“I take a longer look at the words on her headstone.
Brave, kind, loyal, sweet, loving, graceful, strong, thoughtful, funny, genuine, hopeful, playful, insightful, and on and on…
Was she, though? Was she any of those things? The words make me angry. I can’t look at them any longer.
Why do we romanticize the dead? Why can’t we be honest about them?”
― I'm Glad My Mom Died
