4 quotes
"The world is full of holes and uneven seams, wrinkled places that you can’t make smooth, no matter how hard you try."
"Some people think they can just decree that everything will be fine. The world doesn’t work like that. I’m not sure the world gives a crap about anyone’s promises, well-meaning or otherwise. Sometimes the Universe just takes what it wants."
"Time doesn’t heal anything. It’s like drinking. The best it can do is help you forget, if you’re lucky."
"If you’ve never been close to death, life probably seems pretty solid. The truth is, it can be destroyed in an instant, like a photograph. One moment your world is slick and shiny. But then the Universe crumples everything into a ball. And even if you don’t get crushed, if you fight to straighten things out, your life will never be the same again."
