Stupid dreams. Even the good ones are bad, because they remind you how poorly reality measures up.

They were the screams of riders torn apart by the twisted reflections of their own inner selves.

I'm against solutions that are worse than the problem. Like old women who want their hair dyed the color of shoe polish to hide the gray.
Neal Shusterman
How do you judge the brightness of a light when you’re the source? A spotlight can never see the shadows it casts.
Neal Shusterman
Lord, if what I'm doing is wrong, then by all means strike me down. Otherwise set me free.

You may feel a tugging sensation near your ankles.

Statistically speaking, there's a better chance that some part of me will go on to greatness somewhere in the world. I'd rather be partly great than entirely useless.
