“What follows is what happens each time I fall. I do not know if these things really happen but this is what I believe happens. As your eyes move across these words, some sacred engine is coming back to life and I am beginning to fall again. Sometimes, it feels like I’m floating”
― Iain S. Thomas, Intentional Dissonance

“Draw every bad word you’ve ever called yourself on your body. Stand in the shower and pay attention to the way the words turn back into ink and disappear down the drain.”
― Iain S. Thomas, How to be Happy: Not a Self-Help Book. Seriously

“This is my skin. It keeps out the rain and words I’d rather not hear like “I’m tired” or “I’m fine” or “We need to talk.”

― Iain S. Thomas
