The Edge of Never
Quotes from the Book
You're living on a floating rock filled with water and you're expecting life to make sense. Well, breaking news: It doesn't make any fucking sense to anyone.
Give me two weeks to show you that there is more to live for, more to be alive for. Give me two weeks to make you fall back in love with life.
The true art in life is to see beyond the pain. See that there is a source of light in everything.
Beauty is also within the darkness. It's within misery and solitude, even if it's masked
I fell in love with you, Lily. I spent eight, or seven, however many days I’ve actually had with you, trying to make you fall in love with me too. I know I’m fucking selfish. But yeah, there you have it. I love you. Now, go on, break my heart, Lily. I don’t care what you do with it, you have it all. Throw it on the streets and let a car run it over, step on it, I really don’t care, as long you’re the one breaking me.
If you ever find someone who makes you want to rip your heart out and hand it to that person on a silver platter. If you ever find someone who warms not only your bed, but also your heart and soul... hold on to them forever. They're your sun. They're what's bringing light into your life. If they can ease your pain with just being there, lighten your mood, brighten your days by simply being in your life. Colin, Eira, el or ella es tu sol - he or she is your sun.
Someone doesn’t just want to die for funsies, right?
The same girl that would hate herself right about now if she knew her older self put her dreams to rest.
the only guys I’ve ever dated were fictional.
How do I tell someone who's suicidal that I've already found my happiness, and it will leave right when she does? How to I tell her that she is my happiness, that she is bringing light to my life? How do I tell her that she is my joy, everything that brings me satisfaction, that she is my euphoria... without sounding like I want her to stay alive for me?
They say time heals all wounds... they were wrong. But you know that they don't tell you? You don't need wounds to heal when there is tape.
So if there is a chance that I can be her light shining through the darkness, that I can be the yang to her yin, I have to try
If anything, you will get send straight to heaven for fighting against whatever makes you want to die
She doesn't want to see that no matter how deep the water someone is drowning in is, drowning stays drowning
I chuckle at his phrasing. “No way in hell,” I repeat to myself, but he hears it. “You do know I’ll be there soon, right?” I know he knows." -Nine days
I showed you the world. I threw the fucking world to your feet and you’re still complaining about it not being a happy place. It’s not a fucking happy place, but you can get life to suck a little less if you’d only tried to.
