“I cannot tell you how you will survive without me. I cannot tell you how to mourn me.  I cannot convince you to not feel guilty if you forget the anniversary of my death, or if you realize days or weeks or months have gone by without thinking about me. I just want you to live.”
― Adam Silvera, They Both Die at the End

“I would rather be punished for making the right decision than live with the guilt of making the wrong one for the rest of my life.”
― Shannon Messenger, Keeper of the Lost Cities

“Sometimes the truth is a secret you're keeping from yourself because living a lie is easier.”
― Adam Silvera, They Both Die at the End

“Only that: we are here. This is what it means to swim in the tide, to walk the earth and feel it touch your feet. This is what it means to be alive.”
― Madeline Miller, Circe
