Bad Things Quotes

“know how much difference a night’s sleep can make, that what seems ungovernable and world-breaking at one A.M. can be made to feel like someone else’s dream if you put seven hours of unconsciousness between it and you. Tomorrow’s not just another day, another person lives it—and every time you go to sleep, you say good-bye.”
― Michael Marshall Smith, Bad Things

“The cause of that happiness was gone, of course, dead and gone, but still we put our faith in places. We think that if we just lived somewhere different, everything would be okay. We believe that if we paint the stairway a bright new colour, and clear out the closets, our minds will follow. We'll take just about any ray of hope rather than accept that ninety-five per cent of the world we inhabit exists within the confines of our own skulls.”
― Michael Marshall, Bad Things

“The past is like an asshole ex-boyfriend, Ilena. Change your number, and just don’t ever talk to him again.”
― Michael Marshall, Bad Things
