“Don't you ever feel like you want to quit doing something everyone else makes you feel like you're supposed to keep doing? Didn't you ever just simply want to...stop?”

“If we spend too much time reliving the past, it gets us nowhere.”
“That’s where I am, Rafe. Nowhere.”
― Mary E. Pearson, The Beauty of Darkness

“The thing about falling is you don't have any control on your way down.”
― Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star
