Steven Ramirez quotes:

Remember. Observe, assess and act. No hesitation. No remorse.

I was a spectator who had gotten free admission to a freak show.

I knew then I was going to die in the street without ever seeing Holly again. All because I tried to help an old woman, proving for all eternity that no good deed goes unpunished.

Sal turned, an eye stalk hanging from his teeth.

What I learned in this tragedy was the eternal lesson of good people going bad.

When I lifted up the skin, a fat kidney worm dripping with gore raised its bald, blind head and glared at me.

I thought if I loved you enough I could change you. I was so stupid.

I like to think she hates my guts a little less every hour.

I wanted to see the bullet coming, wanted to know the exact moment of my death.

People talk about survival. What they mean is killing the other guy.

She played me with a bad hand, and I fell for it every time.

She smiled at him like a freshman invited to the senior prom. It made my blood boil.

I turned to her, my whole body hard with tiredness and regret.

I heard them tearing at it. It was the sound of mortality.

His eyes were like two wafers of slate, grey and lifeless.

For an instant I saw before me the young girl this used to be.

This guy was a humorless bag of nothing but.

I was somewhere between angry and turned-on.

But I was still determined to protect her. It might be the one good thing I would ever do in my life. I wondered if God would even notice.

A riverless silence made the air heavy.
