Quotes by Jackson Ellis  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You will die, old man, whether or not you take it safe. Take a risk and do something crazy. Follow through on a big idea for once in your damned life.”
Jackson Ellis, Black Days

“I didn't care if I died. If this is how it felt to die, I wanted to die for all eternity—not be dead, necessarily, but to actively die so that I could always feel this way. I laughed—or, at least, I seemed to laugh. Maybe I laughed in a dream. I felt my weight shifting, the sensation of spinning, tumbling, falling. Slowly, slowly I faded away into deep sleep and a darkness deeper and blacker than any I'd ever known. Then there was nothing.”
Jackson Ellis, Black Days

“The thing is, whether you sleep or not, morning always arrives. Giving in to anxiety and insomnia can only make the following day worse, so you might as well get a good night's sleep. Better to face your dread fresh-faced and perky than groggy and grumpy. That's always been my belief.”
Jackson Ellis, Black Days
