Rollercoaster Quotes

“Grief is an emotional rollercoaster.
You will have your ups and downs
and moments of terror
and brief moments of peace.
You can only go as fast
as the ride will take you.
Just remember:
It will end and you will be okay.”
― Kate McGahan, Jack McAfghan: Return from Rainbow Bridge

“Like a rollercoaster, my mind had climbed its way to the top—only to witness how far there was to fall. And like a coaster, the second the fear hit, my stomach plummeted with the drop.”
― Katherine McIntyre, By the Sea

“The universe cannot slide into stasis. It must reach a climax and then begin again. The universe is orgasmic, not “happy”, not “tranquil”. Its job is to achieve peaks, not plateaus and flatlines. If you have peaks, you necessarily have troughs. This really is a rollercoaster ride. It’s inevitable. It’s built into reality. Existence is made of sinusoids, the archetypal rollercoasters, permanently cycling between peaks and troughs. If God is the ultimate peak (zero mental entropy), the Big Bang is the ultimate trough (maximum mental entropy). Do you have the courage and fortitude to be a God? Remember, it’s a rollercoaster ride. You must be ready for the troughs. There are as many snakes as ladders. Everyone’s trying to drag you down.”

“With just a tap on the gas, the car flew off of the road and skidded sideways into the encompassing woods. And I felt the sudden impact as the tires scraped against mounds of dirt, buried roots and jagged stones.

The blood-red moon lightly broke through the scattered leaves above us as we bounced among the hidden marshes that could have stretched for miles. But I had no recollection of time because everything, the sounds and the surrounding scenery swept by so quickly.

Gripping the steering wheel, his feet on the pedals, spine arched, and my hair whipping my face in the wind from the freshly broken glass on my passenger-side-window I couldn’t help but smile with the childish pleasure of being hurtled through the air as if we were on a rollercoaster built for two.”

“Je suis habituée aux montagnes russes de ce genre. Ma vie est une alternance de périodes nihilistes et de pics de frénésie. Comme souvent, une fois la tristesse passée, je suis curieusement optimiste et prête à tout. Une sorte de pulsion de vie après avoir eu l'impression que tout en moi s'était éteint.”
― Fanny Ruwet, Bien sûr que les poissons ont froid

“It was still hard for her to believe what was happening. One moment she was eating fried chicken and the next there was a full-blown riot on the street. The rest was like a crazy roller coaster ride from hell.”
― Jason Medina, The Manhattanville Incident: An Undead Novel

“My heart skipped a few beats
and my chest tightened a little as I realized that I had done it again. A night full of partying and heavy drinking had me hungover but alive. I briefly pondered on how many of my nine lives I had used.”
― Fm Ellis, My Life As a Lemon: The Memoirs of Me

“Best friends are so handy to back you up when you suddenly burst out stating that God has a mission…”
