“Orang selalu berharap kau melanjutkan hidup secepatnya setelah mengalami kehilangan. Selama beberapa bulan pertama, simpati mencurahimu. Kemudian, pelan-pelan, berkurang, dan suatu hari kau mendapati dirimu sendiri berdiri sendirian di makam, bertanya-tanya kenapa orang lain sudah beralih memedulikan sesuatu yang lain sementara kau masih tetap di sini, tanpa suara masih membawa kesedihan yang sama. Orang jadi bosan dengan dukacitamu. Mereka menginginkan topik baru untuk dibicarakan. Jadi, kau berhenti mengungkitnya karena tidak mau membuat bosan siapa pun.”
― Marie Lu, Batman: Nightwalker

“You understood that proof of your friendship lay in keeping your distance, in accepting what was told you, in turning and walking away when the door was shut in your face instead of trying to force it open again.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“You make me want to live, Rowan. Not survive; not exist. Live.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

“You have to talk about these things while they're fresh. Or you'll never talk about them. Because it's going to get harder and harder the longer you wait, and it's going to fester inside you, and you're always going to think you're to blame. You'll be wrong, of course, but you'll always think it.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
