Quotes by Jason E. Hodges (?)

“When I drove home, I burned myself just to feel something. I’m just so lost right now, and I feel like I’m being hit with wave after wave of sadness. It feels like a struggle to even think about tomorrow.”
― Jason E. Hodges, The Drop Off

“Humans have the ability to rewrite history. Within a few decades it is not even questioned. Stories of the past become as real as the world you walk through today. Wars are waged over false history. Sins are denied. All for mankind to move forward and feel comfortable about its past. Your true history is written in the stars. Look up, breathe in, and be humbled by the ones who came before you. The ones who have suffered, who have endured, who have overcome. Their blood is alive in you. Their spirits roam freely in the heavens above.”
― Jason E. Hodges, When The Cedars Shade Your Grave

“Literature is a love that won’t let you down or show its true colors after some time goes by. You know what it’s about from the moment you read it. In a lot of ways it’s a perfect love.”
