    “Run, I said to myself.” Warner has picked up my notebook again.

    “Please.” I’m begging him. “Please s-stop—”

    He looks up, looks at me like he can really see me, see into me, like he wants me to see into him and then he drops his eyes, he clears his throat, he starts over, he reads from my journal.

    “Run, I said to myself. Run until your lungs collapse, until the wind whips and snaps at your tattered clothes, until you’re a blur that blends into the background.

    “Run, Juliette, run faster, run until your bones break and your shins split and your muscles atrophy and your heart dies because it was always too big for your chest and it beat too fast for too long and run.

    “Run run run until you can’t hear their feet behind you. Run until they drop their fists and their shouts dissolve in the air. Run with your eyes open and your mouth shut and dam the river rushing up behind your eyes. Run, Juliette.

    “Run until you drop dead.

    “Make sure your heart stops before they ever reach you. Before they ever touch you.

    “Run, I said.”
    Tahereh Mafi

    “I’ve become obsessed. I carry her notebook with me everywhere I go, spending all my free moments trying to decipher the words she’s scribbled in the margins, developing stories to go along with the numbers she’s written down.
    I’ve also noticed that the last page is missing. Ripped out.
    I can’t help but wonder why. I’ve searched through the book a hundred times, looking for other sections where pages might be gone, but I’ve found none. And somehow I feel cheated, knowing there’s a piece I might’ve missed. It’s not even my journal; it’s none of my business at all, but I’ve read her words so many times now that they feel like my own. I can practically recite them from memory.
    It’s strange being in her head without being able to see her. I feel like she’s here, right in front of me. I feel like I now know her so intimately, so privately. I’m safe in the company of her thoughts; I feel welcome, somehow. Understood. So much so that some days I manage to forget that she’s the one who put this bullet hole in my arm.
    I almost forget that she still hates me, despite how hard I’ve fallen for her.
    And I’ve fallen.
    So hard.
    I’ve hit the ground. Gone right through it.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Destroy Me

    Marilyn Monroe

    William W. Purkey

    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    Steve Jobs

    “The monsters were never
    under my bed.
    Because the monsters
    were inside my head.


    I fear no monsters,
    for no monsters I see.
    Because all this time
    the monster has been me.”
    Nikita Gill

    Ranata Suzuki
    “It’s painful, loving someone from afar.
    Watching them – from the outside.
    The once familiar elements of their life reduced to nothing more than occasional mentions in conversations and faces changing in photographs…..
    They exist to you now as nothing more than living proof that something can still hurt you … with no contact at all.”
    Ranata Suzuki

    “Solitude is a chosen separation for not trusting people, for they dispirits you everytime you try to trust them. Whereas Isolation is, when you have too many things to talk about but there's no one for you there.”
    Neymat Khan

    Maggie Stiefvater
    “You're beautiful and sad," I said finally, not looking at him when I did. "Just like your eyes. You're like a song that I heard when I was a little kid but forgot I knew until I heard it again." For a long moment there was only the whirring sound of the tires on the road, and then Sam said softly, "Thank you.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver
