“I felt a pang — a strange and inexplicable pang that I had never felt before. It was homesickness, I suppose. I had never been away from home before, not for this long.” - Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
“But then they danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!” - Jack Kerouac, On the Road
“I am not a natural storyteller. But I am a person who is trying to be better at it – to be a good storyteller. It is something I have to work on every day, like exercise or prayer or the dejection that comes when you realize you’ve been bad at something for a very long time.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Water Dancer
“I think everyone has different scars and different things that they feel self-conscious about, and it's not always the most obvious one that people would point out to you. It's not necessarily a deformity or a scar or something. It could just be the way you're made to feel dejected about something that's not necessarily a flaw.” - Lili Reinhart
