“Pain can stay the same while you change around it. And, like a thumb of constant size, what it blocks out depends on how close it gets to you. At arm’s length a thumb obscures a small fragment of the day. Held close enough to your eye it can blind you to everything that matters, relegating the world to a periphery.”
― Mark Lawrence, One Word Kill

“He hadn’t been aware he’d felt wrong until he suddenly felt right again.”

“I keep warning you. Doors and corners, kid. That's where they get you. Humans are too fucking stupid to listen.”
― James S.A. Corey, Abaddon’s Gate
