Chris Adrian

“But as surely as the moon rises and the sun sets, depravity passes down through the ages, because there is always a gap between who we are and who we should be, and our parents, molested by regret, conceive us under the false hope that we will be better than them, and everything they do, every hug and blow, only makes certain that we never will be.”
Chris Adrian, The Children's Hospital

"I've tried to burn you similarly," it said, "but you never even noticed when I opened my chest.”
Chris Adrian, The Great Night
