“You need to know it's your actions that will make you a good person, not desire.”
― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

“The things I feel cannot be put into words, or if they can, the words are in no language anyone can understand. My emotions are talking in tongues. Joy spins into anger spins into fear then into amused irony, like leaping from a plane, arms wide, knowing beyond a shadow of doubt that you can fly, then discovering you can't, and not only don't you have a parachute, but you don't have any clothes on, and people below all have binoculars and are laughing as you plummet to a highly embarrassing down.”
― Neal Shusterman, Challenger Deep

“It's just that some people are better at being than others”
― Veera Hiranandani, The Night Diary

“It's like I'm sick with all the words I hold on to and can't say”
― Veera Hiranandani, The Night Diary
