This is it. This is goodbye. A goodbye I wasn’t even looking for.

You do not write your life with words … You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness (via tessalivesandbreathesbooks)

Choices may be unbelievably hard but they’re never impossible. To say you have no choice is to release yourself from responsibility and that’s not how a person with integrity acts.

-Patrick Ness, author of the Chaos Walking series (via keepcallingforme)

We’ve forgotten how to talk to each other, haven’t we? Funny how things evolve and evolve and then one day, you look up and they’re different.

Patrick Ness, The Rest of Us Just Live Here (via ofquotesandpoetry)

[quotemybooks]

Feelings don’t try to kill you, even the painful ones. Anxiety is a feeling grown too large. A feeling grown aggressive and dangerous. You’re responsible for its consequences, you’re responsible for treating it. But Michael, you’re not responsible for causing it. You’re not morally at fault for it. No more than you would be for a tumour.

“You were merely wishing for the end of pain, the monster said. Your own pain. An end to how it isolated you. It is the most human wish of all.”

There is not always a good guy. Nor is there always a bad one. Most people are somewhere in between.

It’s not that you should never love something so much that it can control you. It’s that you need to love something that much so you can never be controlled. It’s not a weakness. It’s your best strength.

Your mind will believe comforting lies while also knowing the painful truths that make those lies necessary. And your mind will punish you for believing both.

When they were together like that, they had been their own private universe, bounded just by themselves, a population of two. They were the world, and the world was them.

…wherever you are, it’s okay. You can come back from it. Whatever happened to you down there, whatever the world looks like now, that’s not how it always looks. That’s not how it’s always going to look. There’s more. There’s always more.

More Than This, Patrick Ness (via justdavetv)

It’s like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.

You are an educated man. You know there are no such things as demons.“ Bast smiled a terrible smile. “There is only my kind.” Bast leaned closer still, Chronicler smelled flowers on his breath. “You are not wise enough to fear me as I should be feared. You do not know the first note of the music that moves me.
