1 " Tyler rolls out of bed, sniffs the armpits of yesterday's T-shirt, tosses it aside, gets another out of the drawer. His dad sometimes asks him why he sets his alarm so early -- it's summer vacation, after all -- and Tyler can't seem to make him understand that every day is important, especially those filled with warmth and sunlight and no particular responsibilities. It's as if there's some little voice deep inside him, warning him not to waste a minute, not a single one, because time is short. "
― Stephen King , Black House (The Talisman, #2)
2 " Now you're an adult, Katya!" he'd said, picking her up under the armpits like he'd been doing since she'd been born. "
3 " I drift into the armpits of strangers, tasting their manic salt, and sleep to forget everything. "
― Laurie Halse Anderson , Wintergirls
