I Finally Understood - Nearly Twenty Years Too Late.

I finally understood - nearly twenty years too late. 

 ― Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects

Can you imagine, finally showing your true self to your spouse, your soul mate, and having him not like you?

I’m the cunt you married. The only time you liked yourself was when you were trying to be someone this cunt might like. I’m not a quitter, I’m that cunt. I killed for you, who else can say that? You think you’d be happy with a nice Midwestern girl? No way, baby! I’m it.

Gustave Moreau - Study for Lady Macbeth (1851) Brian De Palma - Carrie (1976)

Ten little soldier boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.

— And Then There Were None, Agatha Christie

– When I was a kid we used to scare each other with stories about a woman in white killing little children. – Yeah, I, too. Town folklore. – Well, I don’t know. Maybe someone doesn’t believe it’s folklore. Maybe they want to make it real.
