Mark  Lawrence
“In the end it seems we're just toys, easy to break and hard to mend.”
Mark Lawrence, Prince of Thorns

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control
“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
Marilyn Monroe

Larry J. Dunlap
“Man, that was one trippy ride. Especially when those big white rabbits started running alongside the car through Crow Canyon. Dave and Mickey looked at me like I was nuts until they figured out I was so fucked-up tired, I'd hallucinated the white mailboxes we'd passed along the road into galloping rabbits.”
Larry J. Dunlap, Night People

“I hope you'll make mistakes. If you're making mistakes, it means you're out there doing something.”
Neil Gaiman, Make Good Art
