“You are like the death flowers that grow rampant in your wake: lovely to look at, intoxicating even, but get too close and you will soon learn that there is something rank beneath. That’s what beauty often is, in nature. A warning. A disguise.”
― Krystal Sutherland, House of Hollow

“We don’t die so much as we return to the void. We dissolve. We lose our ego. We change from being just one thing to becoming everything. Most of us, at least.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Poppy War

“All the tiny, seemingly insignificant details upon which my world hangs.”
― Blake Crouch, Dark Matter

“You could grow to love something so strong and elemental, but you’d have to value the beauty of it more than you did your own life.”
― Alice Hoffman, Everything My Mother Taught Me
