“Davis was right : Everybody disappears eventually.”

“The worst part of being truly alone is you think about all the times you wished that everyone would just leave you be. Then they do, and you are left being, and you turn out to be terrible company.”
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“J'imaginais les tourments. Le coeur qui se braque. Le cauchemar d'être réveillée en pleine nuit et de se faire dire que... que quoi? C'est pour elle que mes yeux se sont embués. Et pour la fatalité. Et pour la souffrance qui fait mourir. Et pour la peur. Pour cette envie irrépressible d'être ailleurs.”
― Naomi Fontaine, Manikanetish

“You hear a lot about the benefits of insanity or whatever - like, Dr. Karen Singh had once told me this Edgar Allan Poe quote: "The question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence." I guess she was trying to make me feel better, but I find mental disorders to be vastly overrated. Madness, in my admittedly limited experience, is accompanied by no superpowers; being mentally unwell doesn't make you loftily intelligent any more than having the flu does.”
