“The worst part of being truly alone is you think about all the times you wished that everyone would just leave you be. Then they do, and you are left being, and you turn out to be terrible company.”
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“i am
a lioness
who is no longer
afraid to let the world
hear her
roar

-an ode to me”
― Amanda Lovelace, The Princess Saves Herself in This One

“i had a
big smile
on my face
as i burned
the bridges
to all the things
i could not
repair

-does the smoke still choke you?”

“I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites. It had been well over 35,000 hours or so since then, with still not much murdering, but probably, I don't know, a little under 35,000 hours of movies, serials, books, plays, and music consumed. As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.”
― Martha Wells, All Systems Red
