“I realised you had left me long before you got on the train. The last few months had been terrible, of course—your blank-eyed stare, your refusal of my every attempt to communicate with you, the way you would look past me as if your mind was already somewhere else—”
― Jude Reid, Places We Fear to Tread

“...I can have spiders in my head as long as I don’t let them consume me and then destroy the world as we know it.”

“I read somewhere in India there are priests who can will their heart to stop beating. I wanted to will my blood to stop, my heart to quit its pumping. I wanted to be dead, to turn into the rain, my eyes melt into the ground like two black snails. I wished and wished. I closed my eyes and willed it, but when I got up my dress was green and I had a headache.”
― Sandra Cisneros (Author)

“My mind rehearsed loss before death closed its fingers, as though practising it would lessen the blow. It never did.”
― Laura Steven
