“What the hell am I doing?” I asked her. Her tail began to wag in response and I couldn’t help but think how fucking wonderful it would be to be a dog. Having no responsibility, no pressure. Just running around and pooping. I hated being human; I hated having to think and make decisions and dig myself out of the bottomless holes that I’d created. It would be so much easier to be a dog.”

“Books don't change lives... People change lives... Sometimes, if you're lucky, if you get the thing right, a book can say some important things and that's all fine and good... but a book is just an artifact... a thing that sits on a desk or a shelf... People make the real difference... People and love...”
― Adam Rapp, Decelerate Blue

“You want to know how to navigate life? Don't live and die by the beliefs you had when you were young. Everything changes, that's what you learn when you've lived as long as I have.

― Stephanie Oakes, The Arsonist
