“Adults always think they can protect children by stopping them from going to dangerous places, but every teenager knows that’s pointless, because the most dangerous place on earth is inside us. Fragile hearts break in palaces and in dark alleys alike.”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends

“I almost cave. But I know by now that voice of reason is the enemy. Inside me there is a coward who fears discomfort. That coward will offer solace in the form of excuses. But it is the coward who grooms a man for his defeats. The coward who makes him accept them because he is accustomed to finding a good reason to quit. The coward inside can only be killed one way. I toss down my pack and don my training kit.”
― Pierce Brown, Light Bringer

“I’m surprised more people don’t get murdered on Halloween.”
― David Ellis, Look Closer

“Be yourself.
Unless yourself is an asshole.”
― David Sedaris, Happy-Go-Lucky
