“Life buries us. We get heavier and heavier as time goes on and we labor under the layers we’ve collected. Sometimes the layers make us who we are and sometimes they make us someone else entirely.”

“Maybe this isn’t the kind of love that deserves to exist. Maybe it’s the kind that wars start over. The kind that topples empires and never leaves the world better than it found it.”
― Abby Jimenez, The Night We Met

“You have no idea. You don’t know what you have. You have your youth and you’re beautiful, but you’re hungry, and that hunger blinds you to what you already have. All those raging hormones, making every decision for you. You’re always hurting, but you’ve never been hurt. Not really. Later on, though, you’ll realize youth is truly wasted on the young.
Right now, you’re pretending you’re what, twenty-one? Later on, you’ll
want to be twenty-one again. Really, no matter what age you are—ten
or a hundred—you’ll want to be twenty-one.
And, just as when you were a little kid, you’ll demand your dignity
before you earn it.”
― Craig DiLouie, Suffer the Children

“Because he was human and started dying the minute he was born. Because it was always going to happen, and it was always going to hurt.”
