“It’s rare in life that you know how much you’re enjoying something at the precise moment you’re enjoying it. Happiness is something more often felt in retrospect – a sensation you later ascribe to memories.”
― Jessie Stephens, Heartsick

“But the thing about feeling something in your chest and your stomach and your hands is that you're not sure if you can trust it. She knows she's losing her mind. But is this sensation part of the sane mind she still has left? Or is it part of what's lost? How do you trust your own mind when it's playing tricks on you? When it's half mad and half sane?”
