“Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“A flash of resentment. It's hard enough being alive, trying to survive in the world and find your place in it, to do the things you need to do to get by, without wondering if the thing you just did, whatever it was, was worth someone having...if not died, then having given up her life. It wasn't fair. "Life's not fair," said Ginnie, as if I had spoken aloud.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“Is it better to speak or die?”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

“Adults should not weep, I knew. They did not have mothers who would comfort them.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
