“She had written something that felt like I could have written it, except I knew I couldn’t have. I wouldn’t have come up with something like that. Which is what we all want from art, isn’t it? When someone pins down something that feels like it lives inside us? Takes a piece of your heart out and shows it to you? It’s like they are introducing you to a part of yourself. And that’s what Daisy did, with that song. At least for me.”

“I've been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you're gold when you're a kid, like green. When you're a kid everything's new, dawn. It's just when you get used to evreything that it's day. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That's gold. Keep that way, it's a good way to be.I want you to tell Dally to look at one. He'll probably think you're crazy, but ask for me. I don't think he's ever really seen a sunset. And don't be so bugged over being a greaser. You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There's still lots of good in the world. Tell Dally. I don't think he knows.

Stay gold, Ponyboy.”
― Susan E. Hinton, The Outsiders

“It's just strange," he agrees, staring out the window, lost. "One day someone's walking around, going to work, alive, and then..." Kimball stops, fails to complete the sentence.
"Nothing," I sigh, nodding.
“People just... disappear," he says.
"The earth just opens up and swallows people," I say, somewhat sadly, checking my Rolex.”
― Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho
