"No."
"You're never more important than you are then."

“everyone on earth, they’d tell us, was carrying around an unseen history, and that alone deserved some tolerance”

"Stockholm": after all, an expression more than it is a place, both for men like Roger and for most of the rest of us, just a symbolic word to denote all the irritating people who get in the way of our happiness.”

will be calling annoying people this from now on

“Now I think it's one of the most useless questions an adult can ask a child -What do you want to be when you grow up? As if growing up is finite. As if at some point you become something and that's the end.”

here we go🥲🥲🥲

“ I repeat, I emphatically repeat: all spontaneous people and men of action are active because they are dull-witted and limited. “

“Zara is human enough to want to hear what the difference is between that man and Nadia, even though she realizes that she doesn’t really want to know. That she bears the guilt. That she’s the bad person. Maybe everyone says they’d like to know that about themselves, but no one does really.”

THIS BOOK I - 😭😭😭😭

“Some people accept that they will never be free of their anxiety, they just learn to carry it. She tried to be one of them. She told herself that was why you should always be nice to other people, even idiots, because you never know how heavy their burden is.”

“Drugs are a sort of dusk that grant us the illusion that we're the ones who decide when the light goes out, but that power never belongs to us. The darkness takes us whenever it likes.”

“Because you’ve probably been depressed yourself, you’ve had days when you’ve been in terrible pain in places that don’t show up in X-rays, when you can’t find the words to explain it even to the people who love you. Deep down, in memories that we might prefer to suppress even from ourselves, a lot of us know that the difference between us and that man on the bridge is smaller than we might wish. “

“Sometimes it hurts, it really hurts, for no other reason than the fact that our skin doesn't feel like it's ours. Sometimes we panic, because the bills need paying and we have to be grown-up and we don't know how, because it's so horribly, desperately easy to fail at being grown-up.”

“I wonder if that’s true of everything and the truth hides somewhere between what we each remember? Reshaping our memories to be what we thought they should. Did I make it better than it was? Did I ever make it worse?”

“he was no dragon….fire cannot kill a dragon”

"We said vows."

"Those are words, not walls. They don't defend. They don't enforce.
They don't protect us from life. From pain. From how things change.
And I don't want to stay in this just because we said we would. I need to stop hurting, and being with you? It hurts now."

pain

tyrion is such a douche but he fascinates me

"Isn't he beautiful?
And strong too, don't you believe the things you hear. Jon knew. The seed is strong, he told me. His last words. He kept saying Robert's name, and he grabbed my arm so hard he left marks. Tell them, the seed is strong. His seed.
He wanted everyone to know what a good strong boy my baby was going to be."

mhmmmm interesting

“False notions of love teach us that it is the place where we will feel no pain, where we will be in a state of constant bliss. We have to expose the falseness of these beliefs to see and accept the reality that suffering and pain do not end when we begin to love.”

“Imagine how different our lives would be if all the individuals who claim to be Christians, or who claim to be religious, were setting an example for everyone by being loving.”

"No, it will be all right. You may think that the memories themselves vanish every time there's a disappearance, but that's not true. They're just floating in a pool where the sunlight never reaches. All you have to do is plunge your hand in and you're bound to find something. Something to bring back into the light. You have to try. I can't just stand by watching as your soul withers."
