“I was destined to be forgotten. But in the grand scheme, aren’t we all? In a cosmic time scale, what’s the difference between being mourned for a minute or an eon?”
― Jack Townsend, Tales from the Gas Station: Volume Two

“I've always felt the need to prove myself against other people. I mean, I'm quite a weak person physically, and I think in school, I wouldn't say I was bullied but you do feel scared sometimes, or frightened, and the only thing I thought I had that was different from other people was the fact that I was actually quite intelligent. I like reading and passing exams or whatever. But even things like A-Levels - say somebody else got straight As - I would not feel as good as them, because I didn't know what percentages we had. I wanted to know that I had ninety-eight per cent and they had ninety-five per cent. It wasn't enough. I felt next to somebody with the same qualifications as me, I would not feel as good. You don't even know what it means. So you're constantly trying to get better and improve all the time.”
― Rob Jovanovic, A Version of Reason: In Search of Richey Edwards

“Somehow I've always wanted the ones that didn't want me. I'm the absolute queen bee of unrequited love.”
― Iris Murdoch, The Sacred and Profane Love Machine

“A mirror doesn't give a man a true reflection of who he is. It doesn't show him what's on the inside. It doesn't show him the things he covers up with a smile whilst standing in front of it, telling himself he's okay. Death will. His true form will stand before him, stretched out forming the thickest, darkest truths he's ever seen.

I don't want to be there when I die. Death. Although it comes once, it lasts forever.”
― Arti Manani, Seven Sins
