Mother Teresa
“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.”
Mother Teresa, A Simple Path: Mother Teresa

Criss Jami
“I would rather a romantic relationship turn into contempt than turn into apathy. The passion in the extremities make it appear as though it once meant something. We grow from hot or cold, but lukewarm is the biggest insult.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy

Ray Bradbury
“How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn't someone want to talk about it! We've started and won two atomic wars since 2022! Is it because we're having so much fun at home we've forgotten the world? Is it because we're so rich and the rest of the world's so poor and we just don't care if they are? I've heard rumors; the world is starving, but we're well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we're hated so much? I've heard the rumors about hate too, once in a long while, over the years. Do you know why? I don't, that's sure! Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damn insane mistakes!”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Caroline Kepnes
“She is not burdened with a sensitive heart. Hers just beats.”
Caroline Kepnes, Hidden Bodies

Bryant McGill
“For the vile human pigs in life; the sloppy, disheveled, uncaring dregs, the ungrateful, and especially for the vicious, negative emotional peasants — there will only continue to be the hard and painful lessons you so desperately need. The invisible hand will hold you in your wretched place until your last breath — unless you evolve. If you are cruel and ignorant the invisible fist will pound you into oblivion until you submit, humble yourself and soften your hard heart.”
Bryant McGill, Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life

Shannon L. Alder
“A daughter of God knows that insecurity is not an excuse for doing evil to others, nor will God rest until caring for everyone is a lesson you learn.”
Shannon L. Alder

Bryant McGill
“Our current societal construct demonstrates we are uncaring and largely self-centered beings driven only by our own needs”

Shannon L. Alder
“Tears terrify people more than anger because they attach to your heart and leave angels of mercy to shout in your mind.”
Shannon L. Alder

Jason Medina
“He could have been invisible and it wouldn’t have made a difference to them. He didn’t care, so long as he felt at ease, which was his original intention. He wasn’t there to make friends, nor did he want to.”
Jason Medina, A Ghost In New Orleans

Anthony Liccione
“And when the earth began to rumble and quake, as fear and frantic set in, he ran back inside the house past his wife and children, gathering all the valuables and things he thought of importance, and ran back to his car packing away. After making two trips in and out, he waited in the car for his family to come out, in fear they darted through the darkness and pelting cold rain. When everything calmed down, and the house was intact and safe, he returned putting everything back in its place, had the kids go to bed, told his wife he loves her and turned off the light.”
Anthony Liccione

Victor LaValle
“Randolph Maddix, a schizophrenic who lived at a private home for the mentally ill in Brooklyn, was often left alone to suffer seizures, his body crumpling to the floor of his squalid room. The home, Seaport Manor, is responsible for 325 starkly ill people, yet many of its workers could barely qualify for fast-food jobs. So it was no surprise that Mr. Maddix, 51, was dead for more than 12 hours before an aide finally checked on him. His back, curled and stiff with rigor mortis, had to be broken to fit him into a body bag.” THE NEW YORK TIMES April 28, 2002”
Victor LaValle, The Devil in Silver

“Some people will notice, your reaction of detachment; yet, never consider how their actions led to that decision.”
Morgan Richard Olivier

“I tell ya, the live ones put more death in the place than the dying. In the time I was there. I watched my grandma try to tell the same story three times to two nurses and one doctor and she was told to stop talking each time. She'd barely get two sentences out before they'd shush her. She's dying. Silence won't save her, let her talk.”
Ani Baker, Handsome Vanilla

Patricia Highsmith
“At dawn, after my death hours before,
The sunlight will spread at seven o’clock as usual
On these trees which I know.
Greenness will burst, dark green shadows yield
To the cruel-benign, indifferent sun.
Indifferent will stand the trees in my own garden,
Unweeping for me on the morning of my death.
Same as ever, roots athirst,
The trees will rest in breezeless dawn,
Blind and uncaring,
The trees that I knew,
That I tended.”
Patricia Highsmith

John Logan
“You have no idea what I had to go through to get to where I am now...So I can look at you and feel nothing.”
John Logan

“You were hurt, but you don't hate them.

It only hurts this bad because you love them.
It hurts because you know you never would have treated them how they have treated you.”
Morgan Richard Olivier

“You ever get so disappointed in somebody that it doesn't even hurt? You don't feel anything at all.
It's just like 'That's how it is, huh?”
Kalen Dion

Jason Medina
“Why should he start caring about the city now? He didn’t care before. It’s exactly what I’d expect from a douche bag like him.”

“It would be fine, so long as there was no permanent damage. Besides, they had cancer anyway.”
Jason Medina, The Manhattanville Incident: An Undead Novel

Tami Hoag
“News that Karl Dahl had escaped had reached him via the ten o'clock news Friday night. Stan could hardly remember the next cou- ple of hours. He had gone into a rage. The pressure in his brain had been such that he had believed his head was going to explode, that he would be found that way on the floor of his living room, and every- one would assume he had killed himself.
He had overturned furniture. He had kicked a hole in a wall. He had gone into a closet and brought out every gun he owned. He had emptied his service weapon into his couch. That none of his neigh- bors had called the police was testimony to how his neighborhood had gone down over the years.”
Tami Hoag, Prior Bad Acts

“I want to thank you. For the
moments you did not give
a fuck about me. It showed
me how to care for myself.
It showed me that I, too,
deserved better.”
R.M. Drake
