“We talk about nature being cruel, but it isn’t, not really, because nature isn’t aware. Animals are driven by instinct. People, though? We make choices. Which means there’s nothing as scary as people.”
― Tracy Sierra, Warning Signs

“When I thought of my mother, it was always as a presence - a role, almost - and it was strange to be faced with a truth that should have been obvious, that she had been someone with her own dreams and aspirations, who had felt the same as I had, and who had once had a life that existed entirely outside of her relationship to me.”
― Alex North, The Shadows

“We all think we're useless. We all break down and we all realise how weak we are in the face of the magnitude of looking after a little person whose whole life and spirit is so dependent on us.”
― Laura Jarratt, Disappeared

“I know we’ve lived our lives in fear of the Shivers, and rightly so. But think of how much we let them take over our lives before they finally take them completely. The hours and days we spend cowering from them in our beds, afraid to go outside out of fear the world will see us. Afraid no one will understand. Choosing to live in the shadows with our monsters, before death comes to take all our choice away.” He lifted Melody up into his arms. “But now, right now, we still have a choice.”
