“What do you call a heart that is simultaneously full and breaking? Maybe there's no word for it, but for some reason, it makes me think of rain falling through sunlight.”
― Blake Crouch, Upgrade

“I hate puppets. Hate them. They descend from a demonic line parallel to mimes and clowns and are wholly of the devil, especially the lifelike variety.”
― Laird Barron, The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All

“The truth is no one can be fully protected. Safety is an illusion. There is no safety. Just downtime between tragedies.”
― S.A. Cosby, My Darkest Prayer

“I was accustomed to liars, bold-faced or wide-eyed, silver tongued or pleading, often with the barrel of my gun directed at them as they babbled their last prayers to an indifferent god, squirted their last tears into the indifferent earth. A man will utter any falsehood, commit any debasement, sell his own children down the river, to avoid that final sweet goodnight.”
― Laird Barron, The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All
