❛ I never thought about how important the sky was until I didn’t have one. ❜
❛ Dreams are like that: they go in and out of memories and scenes, but they’re never real. They’re never real, and I hate them because they aren’t. ❜
❛ Power isn’t control at all — power is strength, and giving that strength to others. ❜
❛ A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger. ❜
❛ A leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own. ❜
❛ In the end, we are alone. ❜
❛ It is like a piece of my soul is lost, empty. ❜
❛ If my life on Earth must end, let it end with a promise. Let it end with hope. ❜
❛ Sorry? Sorry isn’t enough. ❜
❛ Every single thing I ever loved is beyond my reach now. Everything I ever wanted. Everything I ever was. ❜
❛ Will you stay with me? ❜
❛ A leader doesn’t make pawns - he makes people. ❜
❛ Do you hear that? The pulse of life from your heart, the slow in-and-out from your lungs? Even when you are silent, even when you block out all noise, your body is still a cacophony of life. Mine is not. ❜
❛ It is the silence that drives me mad. The silence that drives the nightmares to me. ❜
❛ There is nothing between us but rain. There is nothing between us at all. ❜
❛ I like a little chaos. ❜
❛ I will never, never be the same. ❜
❛ I quit thinking. ❜
❛ You must dedicate your whole life to this. ❜
❛ You can never show weakness in front of them: you are their strength. ❜
❛ You can never let them see you in despair: you are their hope. ❜
❛ What if I am dead? How can someone without a beating heart, without breathing lungs live like I do? I must be dead. ❜
❛ I want to scream. I want to throw open my eyes wake up and not be alone with myself anymore, but I can’t. I can’t. ❜
❛ I will spend all of eternity trapped in my dead body. I will be locked within myself forever. ❜
❛ Should we wait? ❜
❛ Just give me a chance! ❜
❛ It’s bad, being frozen, but it’s better than waking up alone. ❜
❛ Everyone has secrets and if you keep asking, you’ll see how far I’m willing to go to keep mine. ❜
❛ Memories always kill nightmares. ❜
❛ I’m going to find a way to fix you. ❜
❛ I am not broken. ❜
❛ People are supposed to be like that: obedient, calm, working together. It’s us who can’t obey, can’t focus, who can’t work together, — we’re the ones who aren’t normal. ❜
❛ What were you running from? ❜
❛ It’s not like I’ve done anything wrong! ❜
❛ I can get closer. ❜
❛ Like walking through water. Like drowning. ❜
❛ This journey… it’s long. ❜
❛ Why run? Run where? What’s the point? ❜
❛ People will survive anything for their children. ❜
❛ Does it matter if it’s a lie if it keeps us alive? ❜
❛ Old people die. It’s what they do. ❜
❛ This is… mating, it’s not love. ❜
❛ The first cause of discord is difference. ❜
❛ I’m not going to be the one to let her drown. ❜
❛ This is good. I want darkness. ❜
❛ Well, that did the trick. ❜
❛ I can’t do this. I can’t. It’s too much. ❜
❛ Everything is wrong here. Shattered. Broken. ❜
❛ I am surrounded by walls. I just replace one box for another. ❜
❛ What we imagine is often worse than the truth. ❜
❛ Oh, don’t worry, we’re all mad here. ❜
❛ I know I look different. But I’m just a person, like you. ❜
❛ I definitely think I’ve fallen into the rabbit hole. ❜
❛ I don’t like dreams. Sleep is too much like dying. ❜
❛ They are dreams, but I’m too out of control, I lose myself in them, and I’ve already lost too much to let them take over. ❜
