“You kiss me with your mouth wide open like you’re not afraid of swallowing poison. I taste the good and bad in you and want them both. We call this bravery.”— Anita Ofokansi, Literary Sexts
I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds without reopening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me.
― Lora Mathis, If There’s A Way Out I’ll Take It (via books-n-quotes)
I don’t owe people anything, and I don’t have to talk to them any more than I feel I need to.
― Ned Vizzini, It’s Kind of a Funny Story (via wordsnquotes)
