Sick Heart Quotes

“Then he reaches for my hand and places it around his cock. My hand covers his and his hand covers mine. And we jerk each other off like that. I press my body in to him and he backs up until he’s against the door. I bury my head into his neck and he does the same. We don’t kiss and we don’t talk. We don’t need to explain ourselves. We don’t need to feel anything about what we’re doing. We just do it. That’s all there is to it.”

“And if me writing a love story about two survivors of that dark world creates the perfect storm of conditions for you to rail and rage against me, then that’s all you. Not me.

In Sick Heart – I made the victims matter. And I did that by turning them into survivors.”

I try not to picture this platform from space, a speck surrounded by the massive weight of the ocean. And then me, just dust, really, in the grand scheme of things. Because when I see this world for what it really is, that thought evokes a sense of overwhelming… smallness. Our problems are so small from the perspective of the universe. But to us, they are often overwhelming.”
― J.A. Huss, Sick Heart
