Quotes by Ross Sayers (?)

“It's the folk ye leave behind. That's why ye stay. Ye stay fur them until ye learn tae stay fur yersel.”

“I can hopefully help people better understand what they're feeling, and why they're feeling it. Maybe make people be kinder to themselves, if I'm lucky. But keeping you alive? Nope, that's on you, Daisy.”
― Ross Sayers, Daisy on the Outer Line

“Thur's nae opposite tae grief. Thus's name opposite tae this feelin. The opposite tae grief isnae happiness. The opposite tae grief is just... less grief. Days when ye forget fur a while. Ye don't get so happy that ye lie in bed fur days, greetin yer eyes oot wi happiness. Happiness disnae stop ye in yer tracks when ye're in the middle ae Asda and make ye leave yer half-full trolley and walk oot the door. Grief is unique. It disnae fit in wi any rules.”
― Ross Sayers, Daisy on the Outer Line
