“And funerals are pretty compared to deaths. Funerals are quiet, but deaths—not always. Sometimes their breathing is hoarse, sometimes it rattles, sometimes they cry out to you, Don’t let me go!

― Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire

“When you are an addict and you get caught, you always seem to be at your lowest point.”

“HERE
It’s-
Can I say?
It’s like the song of a family where everything’s always all right, it’s a song of belonging that makes you belong just by hearing it, it’s a song that’ll always take care of you and never leave you. If you have a heart, it breaks, if you have a heart that’s broken, it fixes.”
― Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go

“He didn’t give a damn for the defeatist Kennedy, or indeed for that stuffed-shirt Chamberlain, whom Hitler had comprehensively hoodwinked.

It was his job to seek out the truth behind her death, regardless.”
― Mark Ellis, Princes Gate
