“It hurts to live after someone has died. It just does. It can hurt to walk down a hallway or open the fridge. It hurts to put on a pair of socks, to brush your teeth. Food tastes like nothing. Colors go flat. Music hurts, and so do memories. You look at something you’d otherwise find beautiful—a purple sky at sunset or a playground full of kids—and it only somehow deepens the loss. Grief is so lonely this way.”
― Michelle Obama, Becoming

“You will be the death of me. But such a lovely way to go.”
― Gail Carriger, Competence

“People suck, but sometimes, they should just drown in their own suckage without our help.”
― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea

“failure is a feeling long before it’s an actual result.”
