Obsession Quotes

“Still, she was crazy about these two flickering men and wanted to be just like them with someone, except alive and not mute, though perhaps they spoke ghost-language to each other, and she couldn't hear it. She also loved their best friend, an older female ghost who wore men's clothes and ran barefoot through the vineyards, her red hair spun with flowers and bil- lowing behind her like a red river of fresh blooms.

"Hey guys," she called out to the floating men. "Do you know anything about angels?" But of course she got no answer. They were mid-kiss, midair, entwined and enraptured as always.

Their eternity was only each other.”
― Jandy Nelson, When the World Tips Over

― Noyar Cecil, Sunlight in His Abyss: A Dark Mafia Romance

“من فقط یکی چیز می‌خواهم و آن چیز «او»ست. می‌خواهم که او هر لحظه، هر دقیقه کنارم باشد، فقط با من.
تمام چیزهایی که همین حالا درباره‌ی وحدت نوشتم همه‌اش بی‌ربط است، چیزی نیست که باید باشد، دلم می‌خواهد تمامش را خط بزنم، پاره کنم و دور بریزم.
چون می‌دانم (شاید کفر باشد، اما واقعیت است): جشن فقط با او جشن می‌شود، فقط زمانی که او کنارم و شانه‌به‌شانه‌ام باشد. بدون او، خورشید فردا چیزی نیست جز دایره‌ای حلبی و آسمان، حلبی‌ای که رنگ آبی به آن زده باشند و خودم هم، چیزی نیستم جز تکه‌ای حلبی!”

And that made him the perfect target.”
― Marie Annilla, Sinful Lies

“A stalker may vanish from their target's radar, but the target will never disappear from theirs. Out of sight is cold comfort, not safety. The shock or denial that they are now hunted prey in their former life is a potentially fatal illusion. Like a leopard with its unchangeable spots, a stalker's obsessive mindset is always their default pattern.”
― Stewart Stafford
