“Maybe there aren't any such things as good friends or bad friends - maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you're hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they're always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for too, if that's what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.”
― Stephen King, It

“I just need more time with me, I think. To really believe in my worth without anyone's help.”
― Becky Albertalli, What If It's Us

“It might not be distance or time that takes you away from people. Maybe you decide when you let them go. But I can't let go yet.”
― Cecilia Vinesse, Seven Days of You

“No mourners, no funerals. Another way of saying good luck. But it was something more. A dark wink to the fact that there would be no expensive burials for people like them, no marble markers to remember their names, no wreaths of myrtle and rose.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom
