“I do not know what it means to be okay. I have never known and maybe I will never know.

Okay is just a word I use so I won't have to talk about what's inside.

Okay is a word that means I am going to keep my secrets.”
― Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Last Night I Sang to the Monster

“What happens is my mind starts to go in circles, thinking and thinking, and then I can't sleep. And once a couple of days go by, if you haven't slept, you start to get sick. You can't eat. You start to cry. It just feeds on itself.”
― Mohsin Hamid, The Reluctant Fundamentalist

“The thing about eating is that there are so many other more interesting things to do. I feel the same way about sleeping. Complete wastes of time.”
― Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places

“Who hasn't thought about killing themselves, as a kid? How can you grow up in this world and not think about it? It's an option taken by a lot of successful people: Ernest Hemingway, Socrates, Jesus. Even before high school, I thought that it would be a cool thing to do if I ever got really famous. If I kept making my maps, for instance, and some art collector came across them and decided to make them worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, if I killed myself at the height of that, they'd be worth millions of dollars, and I wouldn't be responsible for them anymore. I'd have left behind something that spoke for itself.”
― Ned Vizzini, It's Kind of a Funny Story
