“I see life as a roadside inn where I have to stay until the coach from the abyss pulls up. I don’t know where it will take me, because I don’t know anything. I could see this inn as a prison, for I’m compelled to wait in it; I could see it as a social centre, for it’s here that I meet others. But I’m neither impatient nor common. I leave who will to stay shut up in their rooms, sprawled out on beds where they sleeplessly wait, and I leave who will to chat in the parlours, from where their songs and voices conveniently drift out here to me. I’m sitting at the door, feasting my eyes and ears on the colours and sounds of the landscape, and I softly sing – for myself alone – wispy songs I compose while waiting.”

“The grin he levels my way has probably shattered hearts all over the country. It's doing quite a number on mine right now.”
― Amy Matayo, The Thirteenth Chance

“Stuffing my face with fun-size Kit Kats. Which, for the record, are way less fun than full-size Kit Kats.”
