Favorite These Violent Delights Duology Quotes These Violent Delights Quotes Our Violent Ends Quotes
  Since finishing Our Violent Ends and being blown away by Chloe Gongs phenomenal conclusion to Roma and Juliette’s story, I’ve had so many feelings these books! This Duology is definitely one of my favorites of all time!!! I wish I could experience reading this all for the first time again even after all the EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!! I love so many quotes from these novels, so here’s my post showcasing my favorite These Violent Delights Duology quotes. 

*Warning: Contains spoilers of the ending of Our Violent Ends*

These Violent Delights Quotes "Killer. Violent. Ruthless. All those and more- that was who she was now. And he mourned for her. He didn't wish to, but he did- he ached with the knowledge that the softness of their youth was gone forever, that the Juliette he remembered was long dead."

These Violent Delights Quote Thoughts:

  This was one of the first moments in These Violent Delights that I truly felt the ANGST!!! The complicated feelings Roma had of nostalgia over his past love but at the same time his grief when reminiscing over who Juliette used be was so well described in this scene! As well as Roma’s guilt over his past and blaming himself for why she changed just made me feel for him. After this scene I knew that the angst was defiantly going to hurt in this book but in the best way.

 
These Violent Delights Quotes "What would I be if I weren't a Cai?" Roma had lifted onto his elbow. "You could be a Montagov."

These Violent Delights Quote Thoughts:

  How was young Roma so smooth and romantic when he was only fifteen?!?! These flashbacks to young Juliette and Roma back when they first fell in love were so wholesomely sweet but it hurt so much!!! I BEG for Chloe to please write more special short stories like the Christmas Special with them back when they were innocent and happy!!! Cause I just want to see more moments of them being happy together.

These Violent Delights Quote "How are you this bad?" Juliette asked in disbelief. "I thought you were Russian." "I am Russian, not an alcoholic" Roma muttered."

These Violent Delights Quote Thoughts:

  I can’t talk about These Violent Delights without mentioning this ICONIC and hilarious scene!

These Violent Delights Quotes

These Violent Delights Quote Thoughts:

  I always love a good fight scene with sexual tension and there was plenty of it in this scene! Especially when Juliette had Roma pinned down by straddling his waist with a knife to his throat. Roma outsmarting her by having more than one gun and his teasing was just so entertaining and I love this scene so much!

These Violent Delights Quotes "The music came to an abrupt stop. And they froze too, just as they were-eye to eye, heart to heart. As the people around them broke away in light laughter, switching partners before the music started again, Roma and Juliette simply stood there, heaving for breath, chests rising and falling, as if they had just engaged in close-contact combat instead of a waltz. Step away, Juliette told herself. The pain of it was almost physical. The years had worn on between them, had aged them into monsters with human faces, unrecognizable against old photos. Yet no matter how much she wanted to forget, it was like no time had passed at all."

These Violent Delights Quote Thoughts:

One of my favorite chapters of all, was chapter 15 in the first book with the classic Masquerade Ball. There is so many moments from just this chapter alone that I could fangirl about but the waltz between Juliette and Roma was just perfection! It had just the right amount of yearning and sexual tension. And with Chloe Gong’s writing style being so cinematic, I remember being so immersed in the scene. I could imagine them standing frozen on the dance floor staring at one another and not breaking apart even though the waltz music stopped, like it was a movie screen instead of a page in a book.
These Violent Delights Quotes "It was all too familiar. The feeling of Roma's hands on her waist, his hand tucked in hers- those hands were of such grace, but she knew better than anyone that blood was soaked through and through the lines of these palms. Lines that read like scripture in appearance were in truth nothing but sin."

These Violent Delights Quote Thoughts:

  Another quote from the Masquerade Waltz scene that makes me think “THIS is a work of art!” because it’s so beautiful. The last line alone is masterfully written and Chloe Gong is such a poetic genius!

"I cannot fathom it," she breathed. "You destroy me and then you kiss me. You give me reason to hate you and then you give me reason to love you. Is this a lie or the truth? Is this a ploy or your heart reaching for me?" These Violent Delights Quotes

These Violent Delights Quote Thoughts:

This scene is so ICONIC and is the epitome of what the enemies to lovers trope is! Juliette and Roma have a classic “are they gonna kiss or kill each other trope” moment with them making out passionately and Juliette preceding to point a gun at Roma afterwards. This scene should be used as an example for when people ask what the enemies to lovers trope is.

“I did what I had to do and you may think me monstrous for it. The feud keeps taking and hurting and killing and still I couldn't stop loving you even when I thought I hated you." These Violent Delights Quotes

These Violent Delights Quote Thoughts:

  My respect for Roma King of Simping Montagov defiantly skyrocketed in this scene! Especially when he finally told her the whole truth about why he had betrayed her and how it was to save her life. Knowing Roma’s soft boy hopeless romantic personality and how much Roma hates violence but was responsible for deaths of many people in order to let Juliette live made me feel for him. And that confession just showed much he loved her, that he’ll rather have her be alive and hate him than be gone having loved him. I love Roma Montagov as a character so much!

Our Violent Ends Quote “Why do you pause?" Juliette mimicked bitterly. "Because even if you hate me, Roma Montagov, I still love you.”

Our Violent Ends Quote Thoughts:

  Okay… Why did Chloe have to break my heart so quickly?!?! Juliette saying this to an unconscious Roma was in the FIRST chapter! At this moment I knew this book was gonna hurt so much!

Our Violent Ends Quote Thoughts:

  I couldn’t NOT mention this classic Shakespeare reference that Gong included! I love how she wove in the classic plot points and references from Romeo and Juliet in a way that worked well in this story without feeling forced or predictable.
 
Our Violent Ends Quote "Like twin statues reaching for each other, they both fell asleep at last."

Our Violent Ends Quote Thoughts:

  This is so well written that I thought it might be a Shakespeare reference that I didn’t recognize. This quote is just that good! But I googled it and saw that it wasn’t! Gong’s prose is so beautiful and masterfully written. As a writer that’s her age, Chloe Gong is a big inspiration for me especially with quotes like this one.

Our Violent Ends Quote At this distance between them that she had willingly manufactured, because they had been born into two families at war, and she would rather die at Roma’s hand than be the cause of his death.

Our Violent Ends Quote Thoughts:

  The way that the roles were reversed in Our Violent Ends with Juliette being the betrayer and Roma being the one wanting revenge was just so good! Juliette internal battle of dealing with the pain of Roma’s resentment and knowing she caused it in order to protect him was so heartbreaking! This quote in particular, how she loved Roma so much that the idea of being killed by him was better than him getting hurt, is just so angsty.

Our Violent Ends Quote Thoughts:

  Juliette “I crave violence” Cai is such a queen!!! Juliette being frustrated over the worlds injustices and fiercely calling these things out was one of my favorite things about her as a character.

Our Violent Ends Quote “I will fight this war to love you, Juliette Cai. I will fight this feud to have you, because it was this feud that gave you to me, twisted as it is, and now I will take you away from it.”

Our Violent Ends Quote Thoughts:

  Roma had me swooning big time when they finally reunited and Roma King of Simping Montagov returned! Adding Roma to the list of fictional guys that raise my standards because I’m still shook.

Our Violent Ends Quote Thoughts:

  I fangirled so much when reading the classic scene where they declare their wedding vows! I love the soulmate trope vibes! The way Chloe Gong wrote Roma and Juliette’s love was so well crafted and moving, and so poetically beautiful in this scene. Moments like this where Roma and Juliette are happy gives me serotonin.

Our Violent Ends Quote Thoughts:

  This broke me and I’m still not okay after reading this, I tear up every time. I was expecting a tragic ending, but I’ve never read an ending that was emotional yet satisfying at the same time! I’m used to feeling emotional yet not quite satisfied when reading or just wanting more. But this ending was just beautiful and is probably one of my favorite endings ever!
