“Maybe the last human being on Earth won't die of starvation or exposure or as a meal of wild animals.
Maybe the last one to die will be killed by the last one alive.”
― Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave

“People are always looking into the dark, Zara. We're afraid of what we might see. It might be the dark
outside, it might be the dark of our own souls, but I figure it's better to get caught looking than to never
know. You get me?”
― Carrie Jones, Need

“Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it - that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is a truth to that. We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing - an actor, a writer - I am a person who does things - I write, I act - and I never know what I am going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun.”
― Stephen Fry

“I am a city of sounds.
I will keep you safe.

I know I am supposed to feel ugly.
They all tell me that no woman
should look so well-traveled,
but they do not know.

I am earth. I am sun and skies.
I am the high road, the low road.
I am every poem about skin.
I am a world that cannot be explored in one day.
I am not a place for cowards.”
― Caitlyn Siehl, What We Buried
