1 " What if the endings are just a fresh start? Maybe it just depends on the way you look at it. "
― Ivy Oakes , What if Stars Don't Die
2 " When the people we love are gone, the memories are all we can hold on to. "
3 " For some reason, it never occurred to me that the jaws of death could touch someone next to me. Never once did I think the people whom I cared about could simply cease to exist. Or what would be the consequences of it. "
4 " I read somewhere there are two deaths, the second overcoming the first. The first happens when the body dies and the other is the last time someone says your name. "
5 " Everyone who breathes has problems; it’s how the world keeps spinning. Life always brings us problems, and if it doesn’t, we create some. Which makes them worse in my conception, since they are personal consequences. And the last time I checked, I was still breathing. "
6 " Time is such a crazy thing, a junction of every second turning into minutes then hours, and finally into a lifetime. More precious than gold, money, or talent. In the end, it all comes down to how long we still have left to live.And it’s never enough. "
7 " The silence was no longer an uncomfortable enemy to me. Empty words were. "
8 " Welcome to the feminine world, Dan. Either I look like trash or as if the queen herself had invited me out. "
9 " Your mother buried me a long time ago and believed me when I say that I cried and still cry for this death every day. "
10 " She looked into my eyes, and I felt as if someone saw me for the first time—not the responsible child, the promising student, or the ideal grandson. I felt like finally someone saw me as a person, without any title or obligations, without all the weight of a powerful last name and even heavier responsibilities. "
11 " I never thought I’d have to seek help myself. To become my own hero. "
12 " If love is the only thing we can take with us when we die, what's left for the people who stay? "
