The Settlers Quotes

“because when a person has a dream that they've dreamed of their whole life, and they don't get a single chance to accomplish it in the single life that belongs to them, they just sort of wither inside,”
― Jason Gurley, The Settlers

“No. Every time we fight, if there's a real problem we can't work out, you play-act this emotional psychobabble moment of discovery, like you've just come to terms with something about yourself. But it's a goddamn trick, Micah. I'm supposed to see how vulnerable you are, and come running to you and comfort you. But it's just a diversion. I don't even think you know you're doing it.”
― Jason Gurley, The Settlers

“I think a little break will put things in perspective, Micah. But it's not going to change my point.  Then why take a break? We'll be in the same place then that we are now. Because I'm tired of sleeping badly because we're both all worked-up over this. It'll be good for us. You need the break, too.  I don't. I don't want it.”
― Jason Gurley, The Settlers

“because when a person has a dream that they've dreamed of their whole life, and they don't get a single chance to accomplish it in the single life that belongs to them, they just sort of wither inside, Micah, they dry up and rot on the inside, and the nice thing is that nobody can see it on the outside, not really well, so everybody else can pretend that everything is okay. But not me, Micah. I'll get the great pleasure of dying a little inside every single day that you get to have the life you want, and I have to put my own dreams in a fucking box and fucking burn it.”
― Jason Gurley, The Settlers

“No. No, that's what you want. I know. You want me to sulk for a couple of days, then get over it, and we'll get old and wrinkly and pretend that there was never a time when we fought about this. You might actually forget about it for real. In fact, I know you will. That's what you do. You've got one big-ass rug in your brain, Micah, and you're really good at sweeping shit under it that you never want to see again.”
― Jason Gurley, The Settlers

“if you had to wait for a very long time to receive a message from someone, perhaps when you responded, you would take more care with your words, and write things of greater value.”
― Jason Gurley, The Settlers
