  • "Every single night of my life, every night since we’ve been on the road, I see kids with their eyes closed screaming along as loud as they can, that’s therapy, that’s fucking beautiful. That helps you. How many times have you been with a best friend, just screaming along in the car? Just enjoying yourself. Or dancing in a bedroom? Or singing in the shower? All of that. Or how many times have you made love listening to music? Music brings people together, I don't want you to forget that, because this shit is not a competition." - Craig Owens
  • "I'm not the messenger at all. I'm the message." - I Am the Messenger, Markus Zusak

  • "I hate hospitals. I hate waiting. I hate incompetent, uncaring nurses. I hate watching my father suffer. I hate being tired, depressed, and hungry. I hate everything. And yet, I bring my camera and take pictures. I finally realized why. It's my way of dealing with reality. When you look through a viewfinder, you become detached from the world you are immersed in. You can feel no pain or grief. You're no longer part of the scene. It exists only as a captured image on a tiny screen." - Duane Romanell
  • "I used to talk about killing myself all the time, man. But I don't wanna die now. It ain't long enough. Sixteen years ain't gonna be long enough. Hell, I wouldn’t care so much if there hadn't been so many things I haven't done yet. So many damn things I ain't seen or done." - Johnny Cade, The Outsiders
  • "As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden." - Mr. Chance, Being There

  • "When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written? He's written 'He dies.' That's all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is 'He dies.' It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with 'He dies.' And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know it's only natural to be sad, but not because of the words 'He dies,' but because of the life we saw prior to the words. I've lived all five of my acts, Mahoney, and I am not asking you to be happy that I must go. I'm only asking that you turn the page, continue reading... and let the next story begin. And if anyone asks what became of me, you relate my life in all its wonder, and end it with a simple and modest 'He died.'" - Mr. Edward Magorium, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
  • "You don't become a cop because you want to serve and protect. You join the force because they let you carry a gun and a badge. You do it because you get respect. Most people respect the badge. Everyone respects the gun." - Turk Cowan, The Righteous Kill
  • "I don't need any more guns in my life, that's for sure. But you should have one to be safe. It's better to be judged by twelve than carried by six." - Joseph Grusinsky, We Own the Night
  • "You don't understand any of it, and then you just die." - Fight Club
  • "All good things are wild and free." - Henry David Thoreau
  • "No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear." - C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed
  • "Some books leave us free and some books make us free." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • "Family is more than blood and bone, it is a bonding of each other's souls." - T.M. Thompson
  • "I think it's a great thing about faith is that each person is who they are and you can't change that no matter what you try to do. You are who you are, and faith can be yours, you know? I'm not saying that it adapts so you make your own rules the whole time, but I believe in what I believe in so strongly, but it might not look like what someone else believes in. Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean that I have to pray at the same time as someone else every day." - Hayley Williams
