Quote

There's a road to hell that is paved with good intentions but it's a long route. The quicker path is paved with the kind of ignorance that clever men who just don't want to know are best at.

I've always felt that the placement of a man's testicles is an eloquent argument against intelligent design.

Men think if they're getting laid, everything is fine. Women think if they feel good, everything is fine. Neither turns out to be a very good indicator.

For the longest time I studied revenge to the exclusion of all else. I built my first torture chamber in the dark vaults of imagination. Lying on bloody sheets in the Healing Hall I discovered doors within my mind that I'd not found before, doors that even a child of nine knows should not be opened. Doors that never close again. I threw them wide.

I’ll tell you now. That silence almost beat me. It’s the silence that scares me. It’s the blank page on which I can write my own fears. The spirits of the dead have nothing on it. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment.

I think maybe we die every day. Maybe we're born new each dawn, a little changed, a little further on our own road. When enough days stand between you and the person you were, you're strangers. Maybe that's what growing up is. Maybe I have grown up.

Each day the memories weigh a little heavier. Each day they drag you down that bit further. You wind them around you, a single thread at a time, and you weave your own shroud, you build a cocoon, and in it madness grows.

Image
We can't be trapped by fear. Lives lived within such walls are just slower deaths.

I may be running out of options, but running out isn't an option.

If you must run, have something to run toward, so it feels less like cowardice.

Four years and everything was the same, except me.
Mark Lawrence
Image
When you're in a dark place, and your light is going to run out before too long, you get on with things. It's a wonder to me how few people apply that same logic to their lives.

Sometime, It's easier to love someone with flaws you can forgive in return for them forgiving yours.

There’s something brittle in me that will break before it bends.

If the sins of the flesh ever got old I didn't ever want enough years on me to know it.

I wanted to go home and if Hell rose up to stop me, it would make me desire it more.
