When Mountains Fall Quotes

“They're supposed to be okay because they're alive, and that's what being alive is supposed to mean.”
― Maya Brochu, When Mountains Fall

“He’d be the first to tell you that in the end, everything’s a lie. That the only thing that drives the tears in our eyes, the blade to our skin, our oars to the water time and time again despite the sea that stretches ceaselessly before our eyes is the truth that we make in our minds. The truth that says that feeling something is better than becoming lifeless, that feeling pain is better than feeling nothing at all. The truth that says that the blood on our skin doesn’t stand as a mark of death, but a mark of life that says that despite it we live.”
― Maya Brochu, When Mountains Fall
