“But I wasn’t crying because I was sad. I guess I was crying because we had nowhere else to go, no choice but to go on living in this world. Crying because we had no other world to choose, and crying at everything before us, everything around us.”

“I want you to make more discoveries in your city, and I want you to be brave enough to make the first move again the next time someone catches your eye. And someone will catch your eye again. Please don't deny yourself that out of fear of losing someone again, or guilt because you're living on and I can't.”
― Adam Silvera, The First to Die at the End

“People adore nothing more than to speak of themselves, and if you ever find yourself in a circumstance in which you fear your place or standing then all you must do is ask the other person something about him or herself, and they will forever after be convinced that you are the most fascinating individual they have ever encountered.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, To Paradise
