“Grief, a type of sadness that most often occurs when you have lost someone you love, is a sneaky thing, because it can disappear for a long time, and then pop back up when you least expect it.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Carnivorous Carnival

“There is a kind of crying I hope you have not experienced, and it is not just crying about something terrible that has happened, but a crying for all of the terrible things that have happened, not just to you but to everyone you know and to everyone you don’t know and even the people you don’t want to know, a crying that cannot be diluted by a brave deed or a kind word, but only by someone holding you as your shoulders shake and your tears run down your face.”
― Lemony Snicket, The End

“Do people ever realize how precious life is? I know I never did before. There was always time. There was always a future.”
― Susan Beth Pfeffer, Life as We Knew It

“I learned to cope with my needs for attention by creating my own private personal rituals to make myself feel special.”
― Merrill Markoe, Walking in Circles Before Lying Down
