I just finished reading Things Change by Patrick Jones, and there were a two qoutes that I loved... what are your favorite qoutes from books you've read?
Qoutes "It's easy to watch someone else's life crash and burn, harder to watch your own accident up close" "None of us really get lied to; we mostly just lie to ourselves" |

"You can think of me as a faithless slut if you like. I've taken a new lover. He can give me what you cannot... They say that women dream of danger to those in their care and men of danger to themselves. But I don't dream at all. You say you cant? Then dont do it. That's all. Because I am done with my own whorish heart and I have been for a long time. You talk about taking a stand but there is no stand to take. My heart was ripped out of me the night he was born so dont ask for sorrow now. There is none. Maybe you'll be good at this. I doubt it, but who knows. The one thing I can tell you is that you wont survive for yourself. I know because I would have never come this far. A person who had no one would be well advised to cobble together some passable ghost. Breathe it into being and coax it along with words of love. Offer it each phantom crumb and shield it from harm with your body. As for me my only hope is for eternal nothingness and I hope it with all my heart."
