"Some things sound better if they don't come from you."
- Joyce Rachelle
"Everything seems so small, so trivial, when you're on the right altitude."
"How did I prepare for night shifts? When I was a small, anxious kid, I checked my mom in her sleep to make sure she was still breathing."
"How difficult it is to find solitude in a world that constantly demands your attention."
"Be thankful when you find yourself worrying about the smallest things, for it often means there aren't any bigger things to truly worry about."
"It's because the door hasn't been closed yet that the nightmares still find their way in."
"If people keep stepping on you, wear a pointy hat."
"When you are entrusted with a secret, you become irrevocably accountable for what you do or don't do after your mind is colored by the knowledge of it."
"Ambition is a stairway that never ends."
"You will do well not to write for money, not because you won't get rich doing it, but because writing fueled by that sort of motivation becomes dull and lifeless and mediocre."
