“In our lives, we come to moments of great significance that we fail to recognise, the meaning of which sometimes does not occur to us for many years.”

“Nick, the best thing with this – with everything – is to accept it. Don’t fight against it, don’t deny it. Sometimes, you've got to just take the hit. Let me tell you something everybody seems to forget. Sometimes the good guys win. Bad things happen to good people, yeah, but bad things also happen to bad people. And good things happen to good people too. Don't let life beat that truth out of you.”
― Angelo Marcos, Defence Mechanism

“They say possessions own you. Not so. Loved ones own you. You are forever held hostage once you care so much.”
― Harlan Coben, Hold Tight

“A doctor once told me about a patient with OCD who’d been stopped from using the sink as a way to prevent him washing his hands all the time. He’d ended up kneeling over a toilet bowl, dunking his hands in the filthy water in a bid to keep them clean. That’s OCD in a nutshell – rituals which are illogical even to the person doing them, but which we find impossible to stop.”
― Angelo Marcos, Victim Mentality
