Quotes
All I know is I'm going to miss the stars.
The world is mostly gray, and the heavens are mostly black. The river is dark and the mountains are black.
The wind feels good on my face. It's the last thing I'm going to feel.
I have the sense of the world ending, and I want to be there to witness it.
I had a dog, I had a woman, all I need is a gun and a motorcycle.
I'm no longer afraid of the silence.
The only thing I had that mattered was gone.
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive.
I am lonely, but I am not alone.
The moonlight on the snow is so bright it hurts.
The world is quiet here, and I am the only one alive.
I'm not sure if I can take any more. I am taking more.
