“I’m running because I can, because I must. Because I want to see how far I can go before I have to stop.”

Libba Bray (via thatquote)

“There’s a lot about discovering who you are and how difficult that is. And it never stops.”

“I love no one but you, I have discovered, but you are far away and I am here alone. Then this is my life and maybe, however unlikely, I’ll find my way back there. Or maybe, one day, I’ll settle for second best. And on that same day, hell will freeze over, the sun will burn out and the stars will fall from the sky.”

“Hey, Hachi… People always say that you only discover how precious something is after you lose it. But I think, you only really recognize it when you see it a second time face to face.”

“Second person, I’ve always noticed, has the distinction of being both intimate and repellent at the same time. A quick way of drawing the reader close but also hard to sustain for any length of time. Only so much a person likes being addressed as “you” by a complete stranger. I knew I’d lose people with the approach, but I was going to lose people anyway. That’s the nature of fiction: despite all our lofty claims of universality, no piece of art is for everyone”
