“Sudden conviction races through me, almost terrifying in its total certainty. I can't give him up. He's the other part of me. He gets what it feels like to be separate from everything and everyone, to reject the path others lay out for you. We're the same. Two sides to the same coin.”
― Sophie Jordan, Vanish

“If I could remove one thing from the world and replace it with something else, I would erase politics and put art in its place. That way, art teachers would rule the world. And since art is the most supreme form of love, beautiful colors and imagery would weave bridges for peace wherever there are walls. Artists, who are naturally heart-driven, would decorate the world with their love, and in that love — poverty, hunger, lines of division, and wars would vanish from the earth forever. Children of the earth would then be free to play, imagine, create, build and grow without bloodshed, terror and fear.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Does God know
the number of kisses
before we fall in love?
Yesterday, I was nobody
and I believed myself important.
Today,
I feel my worth
in you.
You, with your emerald eyes and ebony hair,
even your heartbeat is beautiful.
You, who is my greatest joy,
all other concerns vanish in your presence.
You swallow time
and consume space,
inspiring all my passion
with a single embrace.
I love your existence.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“It's very peaceful. Like perhaps the life of a ghost. Carefree and without worry. I naturally let the wind take me forwards when it blows. Exactly where I'm headed to... is of no real concern to me.

― Inio Asano, Goodnight Punpun Omnibus, Vol. 7

without you.
Here my heartache begins with your pain
trying to find an unborn start
in this fatal disappearance

“We don’t vanish without a trace. We are not like animals, content with burrows in the ground. We are not very skilled at survival without clothing or tools. Our feet are soft, our skin is easily cooled, and our stomachs are too weak to drink water straight from a stream. We must create in order to survive. We build cities, aqueducts, and shields, for we must in order to have an edge over the beasts of the field. And so, wherever humans have tread their covered feet, their path never vanishes without a trace.”
― Jennifer Arnett, Day One: A Novella

“(these are my highlighted parts of the book)

Not human, thought Maura, as the hairs stood up on the back of her neck. My god, what have I brought back from the dead?

This poor woman's already died once. Let's not have it happen again.

Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give to the court in the case now in hearing shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Corpses have woken up in morgues. Old graves have been dug up, and they have found claw marks inside the coffin lids. People are so terrified of the possibility that some casket makers sell coffins equipped with emergency transmitters to call for help. Just in case you're buried alive.

The resurrection of Christ wasn't a true resurrection. It was merely a case of premature burial.

When they ask you to play a child, it means they want you to be scared. They want you to scream. They enjoy it if you bleed.

It's not strength, Mila. It's hate. That's what keeps you alive.

Duplex rounds are designed to inflict maximum damage.

In marines, we call them "torso meat tags" because they're useful for identifying your corpse. In a blast, there's a good chance you'd lose your extremities. So a lot of soldiers choose to get their tattoos on their chest or back.

The world is evil, Mila, and there's no way to change it. The best you can do is to stay alive...and not be evil.

You're worse tan a whore. You don't just sell out yourself. You'd sell out anyone else.

But these bars look different; these are not to trap people in; they are meant to keep people out.

Come on baby. Stop being so goddamn stubborn. Help your mama out!

Some babies are born screamers. They refuse to be ignored.

God put mothers on this earth for a reason. Now, I'm not saying it takes a village to raise a kid. But it sure does help to have a grandma.

Human. A02/B00/C02(7cm)/D42
Scalp hair. Slightly curved, shaft is seven centimeters, pigment is medium red.

Reality's a bitch, ain't it? And so am I.

Whenever there are big boys playing with a lot of money, you can bet sex comes into it.

When I open my eyes again, I see more of Anja peeking out from the sand. The curve of her hip bone, the brown shaft of her thigh. The desert has decided to give her up, and now she is re-emerging from the earth.

Nothing that happened to you was your fault. Whatever those men did to you - whatever they made you do - they forced on you. It was done to your body. It has nothing to do with your soul. Your soul, Mila, is still pure.”
― Tess Gerritsen, Vanish

“Oh, why can I not simply cease to be,
Dissolve into the void, eternally free?
No longer seen, no longer heard,
A wisp of smoke, a fading word.”
― Sreena K.S., Let It Be Free: A Poetic Tapestry
