To you, I who had only been a ghost to you,
You might be able to find the road back
To a time when you were real -”

“Men we have never met took our son. They took him without our express permission. They tortured him then they … killed him. And there is no understanding it. There is no meaning. No coming to terms with it. Not now. Not tomorrow. Not ever. We will wake up every day for the rest of our lives and we will breathe razor blades and we will swim through bleach. And there is no escape from this. There is no comfort. There is just … blades and bleach. Until we die.”
― Philip Ridley, Shivered

“Life is not merely the space between sleeping.”
― Anthony Neilson, Edward Gant's Amazing Feats of Loneliness

“When I say my prayers I have a terrible doubt. How can I be sure God is forgiving me? What if he will forgive me, but hasn't forgiven me yet? That's why I don't want to die, Sir. That's why I can't die. Not until I am sure. Are you sure?”
― Timberlake Wertenbaker, Our Country's Good
