“As long as I can remember there was that low hum of suicide ringing through my body. I’d close my eyes and have flashes of strange industrial machines punching holes in my skin. My form cracking on rocks beneath a jagged cliff. A thousand blades reducing me to ribbons. Rearranging my body in ways not available to me in life. Pushing me across a threshold to be reborn as something novel. That was one reason I followed the Forum—to see all the examples of brave individuals radically altering their state of being. Knowing that there was no chance of ever coming back.”
― B.R. Yeager, Negative Space

“What you are is a fucking tragedy, Simon Snow. You literally couldn't be a bigger mess."

"Why?"

― Rainbow Rowell, Carry On

“No matter what happens in the world, however brutal or dystopian a thing, not all is lost if there are people out there risking themselves to document it. Little sparks cause fires, too.”

“You were the sun, and I was crashing into you.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Carry On
