Kai Moore-Austen

“I think a lot about killing myself, not like a point on a map but rather like a glowing exit sign at a show that’s never been quite bad enough to make me want to leave. See, when I’m up I don’t kill myself because, holy shit, there’s so much left to do. When I’m down I don’t kill myself because then the sadness would be over, and the sadness is my old paint under the new. The sadness is the house fire or the broken shoulder: I’d still be me without it but I’d be so boring.”
― Neil Hilborn, The Future

“So now we're here and we are not dead, and Mom, what's more punk rock than living despite all that which has tried to make you not?”
― Neil Hilborn

“I have been wondering, mostly, if love and sanity are the same thing. When I say I am in love I am also saying the world makes sense to me right now”
― Neil Hilborn, Our Numbered Days

“We all suffer, and we all triumph, and we all get to choose how we hold both.”
― Demi Moore, Inside Out
