    One Tree Hill

    “someone will remember us
    I say
    even in another time”

    “You know, I get it. Being raised as a superstar must be really, really difficult for you. Always a commodity, never a human being, not a single person in your family thinking you’re worth a damn off the court— yeah, sounds rough. Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time. I know it’s not entirely your fault that you are mentally unbalanced and infected with these delusions of grandeur, and I know you’re physically incapable of holding a decent conversation with anyone like every other normal human being can, but I don’t think any of us should have to put up with this much of your bullshit. Pity only gets you so many concessions, and you used yours up about six insults ago. So please, please, just shut the fuck up and leave us alone.”
    Nora Sakavic, The Raven King

    “Thank you," he finally said. He couldn't say he meant thanks for all of it: the keys, the trust, the honesty and the kisses. Hopefully Andrew would figure it out eventually. "You were amazing.”
    Nora Sakavic, The King's Men

    “I hate you,” Andrew said casually. He took a last long drag from his cigarette and flicked it off the roof. “You were supposed to be a side effect of the drugs.”
    “I’m not a hallucination,” Neil said, nonplussed.
    “You are a pipe dream,” Andrew said.”
    Nora Sakavic, The King's Men

    Richard Siken
    “I had a dream about you. We were in the gold room
    where everyone finally gets what they want.
    You said Tell me about your books, your visions made
    of flesh and light and I said This is the Moon. This is
    the Sun. Let me name the stars for you. Let me take you
    there. The splash of my tongue melting you like a sugar
    cube…We were in the gold room where everyone
    finally gets what they want, so I said What do you
    want, sweetheart? and you said Kiss me. Here I am
    leaving you clues. I am singing now while Rome
    burns. We are all just trying to be holy. My applejack,
    my silent night, just mash your lips against me.
    We are all going forward. None of us are going back.”
    Richard Siken

    “The stranger says there are no more couches and he will have to
    sleep in your bed. You try to warn him, you tell him
    you will want to get inside him, and ruin him,
    but he doesn't listen.
    You do this, you do. You take the things you love
    and tear them apart
    or you pin them down with your body and pretend they're yours.
    So, you kiss him, and he doesn't move, he doesn't
    pull away, and you keep on kissing him. And he hasn't moved,
    he's frozen, and you've kissed him, and he'll never
    forgive you, and maybe now he'll leave you alone.”
    Richard Siken, Crush

    Maggie Stiefvater
    “Excelsior," Gansey said bleakly.
    Blue asked, "What does that even mean?"
    Gansey looked over his shoulder at her. He was once more, just a little bit closer to the boy she'd seen in the churchyard.
    "Onward and upward.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

    on the earth

    silvery”

    Sylvia Plath
    “I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”
    Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

    Sylvia Plath
    “because wherever I sat—on the deck of a ship or at a street café in Paris or Bangkok—I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air.”
    Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

    J. Sheridan Le Fanu
    “You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me, and still come with me, and hating me through death and after. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature.”
    Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla

  • #27
    “It's always been 'go'. It's always been 'lie' and 'hide' and 'disappear'. I've never belonged anywhere or had the right to call anything my own. But Coach gave me keys to the court, and you told me to stay. You gave me a key and called it home. I haven't had a home since my parents died.”
    Nora Sakavic, The King's Men

    Stephen  King
    “The energy you drew on so extravagantly when you were a kid, the energy you thought would never exhaust itself - that slipped away somewhere between eighteen and twenty-four, to be replaced by something much duller, something as bogus as a coke high: purpose, maybe, or goals, or whatever rah-rah Junior Chamber of Commerce word you wanted to use. It was no big deal; it didn't go all at once, with a bang. And maybe, Richie thought, that's the scary part. How you didn't stop being a kid all at once, with a big explosive bang, like one of that clown's trick balloons. The kid in you just leaked out, like the air of a tire.”
    Stephen King, It

    “Be true, be brave, stand
    All the rest is darkness.”
    Stephen King

    Stephen  King
    “So drive away quick, drive away while the last of the light slips away, drive away from Derry, from memory...but not from desire. That stays, the bright cameo of all we were and all we believed as children, all that shone in our eyes even when we were lost and the wind blew in the night.

    Drive away and try to keep smiling. Get a little rock and roll on the radio and go toward all the life there is with all the courage you can and all the belief you can muster. Be true, be brave, stand.

    All the rest is darkness.”
    Stephen King, It
