Even in the years I'd been one bad week away from starvation, that part of me had been full of colour, of light. Maybe becoming a faerie had broken it. Maybe Amarantha had broken it.

Or maybe I had broken it, when I shoved that dagger into the hearts of two innocent faeries and their blood had warmed my hands.”

“The problem, though, was that Thomas had never before been taught by the teacher named failure. As the broken Thomas spent hours by the mural and hours more lying in bed that night trying to fuse his shattered psyche with misguided hope and dubious possibility, he had no understanding of how to do so. In other words, he had all the raw materials but lacked the proper tools. As is often the case in such situations, his new identity was chaotic and distorted, a little more Picasso than da Vinci, or some may argue, his transformation left him a little more Mr. Hyde than Dr. Jekyll.”
― Seth Daniel Parker, The Greater Good: A Novel of Divided America

“Each moment, as I lived it, had already been used up. I could not connect things together. They happened to me, they had already happened to me. The helix that spans from birth to death, the unbroken thread of habit and progress that makes a person a person, a self whole and entire, had become as discontinuous and insubstantial as a chain of smoke rings.”
― Hari Kunzru, White Tears

“The rest of the evening was a blessed blur. She spent it mostly in a chair alone, near the door, waiting, drinking the red wine and trying to forget the taste of the black mixed with whiskey coming back up. At home, she fell into bed and passed out immediately. She wakened with a headache, hours into the next day, angry with herself for her sullen behavior the night before. But her hand hadn’t noticed, and although their headaches were as bad as her they bore them cheerfully: the price, said Gata, of a good party.
“Everything seems to have a price, thought Essa, and I seem to be broke all the time.”
― Candas Jane Dorsey, Black Wine

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

To wake up to life you gotta be shaken.”

“In the haze of longing, a bittersweet twist,
I never fathomed love's smoky eclipse,
A day arrived, an unexpected shift,
Kissing cigarette's filter, not your lips.”
