edelweiss

“I’m not a romantic, I’m a half-wit. Only stupid people would think I’m smart. I’m not something anyone should know. I’m a lunatic wandering around for scraps, I’m like every single miserable moron I’ve scorned and pretended I didn’t recognize. I’m all of them, every last ugly thing in a bad last-minute costume. I’m not different, not at all, not different from any other speck of a thing. I’m a blemished blemish, a ruined ruin, a stained wreck so failed I can’t see what I used to be.”
― Daniel Handler, Why We Broke Up

“I stand entwined in fire on the inextinguishable bonfire of inconceivable love.”
― Daniel Handler, Why We Broke Up

“I was stupid, the official descriptive phrase for happy.”
― Daniel Handler, Why We Broke Up

“Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent
