W. G. Sebald
- Dr. Selwyn
He lived in his hermitage, giving his entire attention, as he occasionally told me, to thoughts which on the one hand grew vaguer day by day, and, on the other, grew more precise and unambiguous.
Ryan Ross
- Northern Downpour
The ink is running toward the page, it's chasing off the days. Look back at both feet and that winding knee. I missed your skin when you were east; you clicked your heels and wished for me. Through playful lips made of yarn, that fragile Capricorn unraveled words like moths upon old scarves. I know the world's a broken bone, but melt your headaches call it home.
The Boy With The Cuckoo Clock Heart - Mathias Malzieu
- Rewards within Risks
If you're frightened of damaging yourself, you increase the risk of doing just that. Consider the tightrope walker. Do you think he spares any thought for falling while he's walking the rope? No, he accepts the risk and enjoys the thrill of braving the danger. If you spend your whole life being careful not to break anything, you'll get terribly bored, you know... I can't think of anything more fun than being impulsive.
Lucy Dacus
- Night Shift
Am I a masochist, resisting urges to punch you in the teeth, call you a bitch and leave? Why did I come here? To sit and watch you stare at your feet? What was the plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands? I feel no need to forgive, but I might as well. But let me kiss your lips, so I know how it felt. Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down. Walk for hours in the dark, feeling all hell.

- Kaeya
Oh? Well, if you're concerned about keeping things professional... maybe you could find more use for me on the front lines. How 'bout it boss? Just don't feel intimidated by what I can do.
