“Was it really that simple? Choosing a life? ...
Maybe you don't fall in love. Maybe you jump.
Maybe, just maybe, it's all a choice.
(Josh Matteson)”
― Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost

“There Will Be Stars

There will be stars over the place forever;
Though the house we loved and the street we loved are lost,
Every time the earth circles her orbit
On the night the autumn equinox is crossed,
Two stars we knew, poised on the peak of midnight
Will reach their zenith; stillness will be deep;
There will be stars over the place forever,
There will be stars forever, while we sleep.”
― Sara Teasdale, Dark of the Moon

“When I was young I was a fool. So wrap me up in dreams and death.”
― Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders

“Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream,
And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by?
---"On death”
― John Keats, Complete Poems and Selected Letters
