― Sarai Walker, Dietland

“Still I would die tomorrow knowing I spend a handful of breathless moments with you than live a lifetime of ordinary breathing.”

“Pain, fear, humiliation, it turned his beautiful dark eyes into a window of hell. It was the first glimpse I’d had of the prison he lived in. A captive to the uncontrollable tics ravaging his body. I think it was then I understood the solace he found in the light. Just as it blinded the world to seeing what was there, it blinded Morgan. It tucked him away from the things he could not control and the things reminding him he was different. How he would never truly fit in. How he existed on the edge between here and wherever it was he went when the light spoke to him.”
― Adrienne Wilder, In the Absence of Light
