“I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you.”

—Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“The moon had been observing the earth close-up longer than anyone. It must have witnessed all of the phenomena occurring - and all the acts it carried out - on this earth. But the moon remained silent; it told no stories. All it did was embrace the heavy past with cool, measured detachment. On the moon there was neither air nor wind. Its vacuum was perfect for preserving memories unscathed. No one could unlock the heart of the moon.”

— 1Q84, Haruki Murakami

“We are more than the worst thing that’s ever
happened to us. All of us need to stop apologizing
for having been to hell and come back breathing.

Your bad dreams are battle scars.
What doesn’t kill you cuts you fucking deep
but scars are just skin growing back
thicker when it heals. ”

— Clementine von Radics

“You sit in silence when there’s nothing to say,
You couldn’t leave me for a minute; I could leave you all day.”
