I'm not afraid of the dead. It's the living I fear.
You have to take what you're given, even if it's a curse.
In a world like this, you don't get to be a child for long.
The world is a dangerous place. It's not to be trusted.
Some folks are just better in pieces.
The dead are the only ones who really know how to keep a secret.
Grief is like having a limb cut off, but no one can see the wound.
Sometimes it's better not to see the future coming.
The worst thing in the world is to outlive your own heart.
Survival is not about being the strongest or the fastest; it's about being the most adaptable.
The world ends for everyone, sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.
Freedom is just a pretty word for another kind of death.
