“I can’t really appreciate the stars, so beautiful against the blue-black sky, they make me want to live to see them another night. A growing part of me wishes I could stop striving for life and lie down and die, so the beauty of the stars only stokes my anger, to be honest. Stars are for people safe enough to enjoy them.”
― Julie Eshbaugh, Crown of Oblivion

“Cam is smiling at me like I'm absolute perfection, and for a moment I forget all about the pain and the hate and the anger”
― Jessica Pennington, Love Songs & Other Lies

“With a final click of the door, I know she's gone. It feels like that moment when the end credits run at a movie, and you wish there were just a few more minutes left before you have to dump your popcorn in the trash. A few more moments before you return to your real life, leaving the imaginary world and characters of the movie behind, trading them in for your own reality.”
― Jessica Pennington, Love Songs & Other Lies

“I bite my lips between my teeth to hold them still. And remind myself what courage really is. Not the lack of fear, but action in the face of fear. And not selfish action either, but action taken in love.”
― Julie Eshbaugh, Crown of Oblivion
