Chris Dietzel
“Scared people don’t really mean what they say, they’re just looking for ways to rationalize everything so they have someone or something to blame. They need to have a reason for what’s happening because when they have that they can take comfort in knowing it’s out of their control.”
Chris Dietzel, The Man Who Watched the World End

Haruki Murakami
“Jealousy—at least as far as he understood it from his dream—was the most hopeless prison in the world.

His heart was as hard as a stone wall. This was the very essence of jealousy.”
Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

Cheryl Strayed
“I think it's neat you do what you want. Not enough chicks do that, if you ask me--just tell society and their expectations to go fuck themselves. If more women did that, we'd be better off.”

Melissa Foster, Lovers at Heart
