    Haruki Murakami, Yesterday

    Osamu Dazai
    “When I pretended to be precocious, people started the rumor that I was precocious. When I acted like an idler, rumor had it I was an idler. When I pretended I couldn't write a novel, people said I couldn't write. When I acted like a liar, they called me a liar. When I acted like a rich man, they started the rumor I was rich. When I feigned indifference, they classed me as the indifferent type. But when I inadvertently groaned because I was really in pain, they started the rumor that I was faking suffering. The world is out of joint.”
    Osamu Dazai, The Setting Sun

    Sabaa Tahir
    “I’ll survive this. I’ll live. But there’s a hole in me, never to be filled. Maybe that’s why people die of old age. Maybe we could live forever if we didn’t love so completely. But we do. And by the time old age comes, we’re filled with holes, so many that it’s too hard to breathe. So many that our insides aren’t even ours anymore. We’re just one big empty space, waiting to be filled by the darkness. Waiting to be free.”
    Sabaa Tahir, All My Rage

    Sabaa Tahir
    “…I’m Salhudin. Sal.”

    Sabaa Tahir
    “There's more to life than the things in front of you. . . Sometimes we hold on to things we shouldn't. People. Places. Emotionals. We try to control all of it, when what we should be doing is trusting in something bigger. If we are lost, God is like water, finding the unknowable path when we cannot.”
    Sabaa Tahir, All My Rage

    “A mother carries her child's innocence in her memory. No matter who they become. We carry our hopes and dreams for them and such things are woven into our souls as God is woven into the fibers of this earth.”
    Sabaa Tahir, All My Rage

    Sabaa Tahir
    “Why does God do it? Why should we pray? Why believe at all?"
    "Because what religion -- many religions really--offers is comfort when it's all too much. A reason for the pain. A hand in the darkness if we reach for it."
    "What if it's not real? The hand? What if you reach for it, and it disappears?"
    "I'm not going to tell you what's real and what isn't, that's for you to decide. But I do think that the hand is what we need it to be. Not what we want it to be.”
    Sabaa Tahir, All My Rage

    Sabaa Tahir
    “How can you know someone for years and still not know their inner currents? I want to sink into the swirls and eddies of her ocean. I want to understand her. But I can’t unless she lets me.”
    Sabaa Tahir, All My Rage

  • #16
    Sabaa Tahir
    “Anger doesn't really cover what I feel, though. You get angry because someone almost runs you over in the bike lane. Angry because someone cuts in line at Walmart.
    What's the word for when someone drinks so much, they are ruining your best friend's life? Or the word for a man so vengeful about his own past that he wants to destroy your future? What's the word for a woman who was sick for months, but refused to go to the doctor until it was too late? The word for a girl at school whose personal mission is to mess with your head?
    Anger 's not the right word.
    Rage. That's what this feeling is, eating me up.”
    Sabaa Tahir, All My Rage

    Sabaa Tahir, All My Rage

    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    Richelle Mead
    “Okay, God, I thought. Get me out of this and I’ll stop my half-assed church-going ways. You got me past a pack of Strigoi tonight. I mean, trapping that one between the doors really shouldn't have worked, so clearly you're on board. Let me get out of here, and I’ll...I don’t know. Donate Adrian’s money to the poor. Get baptized. Join a convent. Well, no. Not that last one.”
    Richelle Mead, Blood Promise

    Coco Mellors

    Coco Mellors, Cleopatra and Frankenstein
