1 " There's more to life than cause and effect. "
― , Falling into Place
2 " She had been desperate to feel something, anything. She needed a window, because she had broken her heart throwing it at locked doors. "
3 " In that moment, Liz Emerson felt that she was forever looking up at people who were much, much better than she could ever be, and the only thing she was really good at was pulling them down to her level. "
― Amy Zhang , Falling into Place
4 " But there was something terrifying taking over her thoughts, and it wouldn't leave. Out of seven billion sharing the planet with her, not one of them knew what was going through her head. Not one of them knew that she was lost. Not one of them asked. "
5 " She would die, and maybe everyone would forget that she had ever lived. "
6 " Because Liz Emerson held so much darkness within her that closing her eyes didn't make much of a difference at all. "
7 " We wonder what lies beyond.One day, she will grow up and imagine death as an angel that will lend her wings, so she can find out. Death, unfortunately, is not in the business of lending wings. "
8 " Gravity is our playmate, momentum is our friend. We are blurs of motion. We are racing, and we are both winning, because we do not race each other. We race the world, and as fast as it rotates, as fast as it revolves, we are faster. "
9 " Well, hello, darling with the ocean eyes,How many secrets keep us apart?A sea of poems, a field of sighs,Can I cross and return to the start? "
10 " She would be an object in motion that would stay in motion, even if it meant flattening everything in her path. "
11 " I would have pulled her back. I would have saved her from falling, but she didn’t see my hand "
12 " Gravity is our playmate, momentum is our friend. We are blurs of motion. We are racing, and we are both winning, because we do not race each other. "
13 " She wished to be happy, and fell asleep with an entire sky above her. "
14 " I wish second chances were real. "
15 " Liz looked back and counted the bodies, all those lives she had ruined simply by existing. So she chose to stop existing. "
16 " She was tired. Gravity pulled at her more aggressively than usual. When she closed her eyes, she could feel it, dragging her deeper, deeper. I would have pulled her back. I would have saved her from falling, but she didn’t see my hand. "
17 " She wanted to go back. She wanted to be a little girl again, the one who thought getting high meant being pushed on the swing and pain was falling off her bike. "
18 " Funny things, aren't they? People. They only believed in what they could see. Appearances were all that mattered, and no one would ever care what she was like on the inside. No one cared that she was breaking apart. "
19 " It is then, when she releases her need to understand, that everything falls into place. "
20 " it’s never too late to change. Every day is a blank page, and your story has yet to be written. "
