“In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them.”

Wow Amber. Just wow. That's an almost perfect description of the climax in my novel. I won't go into detail, I don't want to spoil it for my future readers. ;)
ReplyDeleteCool! It's an awesome quote. I shiver whenever I get to that scene.
