    “I DON'T CARE!" Harry yelled at them, snatching up a lunascope and throwing it into the fireplace. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT, I WANT IT TO END, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!"

    Lemony Snicket
    “It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.”
    Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

    Kinky Friedman
    “My dear,
    Find what you love and let it kill you.
    Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
    Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
    For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
    ~ Falsely yours”
    Kinky Friedman

    Hunter S. Thompson
    “We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
    Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

I want to know every curve, every freckle, and every shiver of your body, ...."

    Emm Roy
    “Mental illness

    People assume you aren’t sick
    unless they see the sickness on your skin
    like scars forming a map of all the ways you’re hurting.

    My heart is a prison of Have you tried?s
    Have you tried exercising? Have you tried eating better?
    Have you tried not being sad, not being sick?
    Have you tried being more like me?
    Have you tried shutting up?

    Yes, I have tried. Yes, I am still trying,
    and yes, I am still sick.

    Sometimes monsters are invisible, and
    sometimes demons attack you from the inside.
    Just because you cannot see the claws and the teeth
    does not mean they aren’t ripping through me.
    Pain does not need to be seen to be felt.

    Telling me there is no problem
    won’t solve the problem.

    This is not how miracles are born.
    This is not how sickness works.”
    Emm Roy, The First Step

    “Lunatics are similar to designated hitters. Often an entire family is crazy, but since an entire family can't go into the hospital, one person is designated as crazy and goes inside. Then, depending on how the rest of the family is feeling that person is kept inside or snatched out, to prove something about the family's mental health.”
    Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted
