“It's a bit like the feeling I get when I'm standing on a cliff or high building, looking down at a suicidal drop. I start thinking about what would happen if I stepped off, the rush of the fall, the shattering collision, the quiet emptiness of death. Part of me wants to experience the thrill of complete surrender.” IfsThinkingWantFeelingsHappensFallBitsBuildingQuietStandingSurrenderEmptinessThrillSuicidalCliffsCollisionLooking DownShattering Author:Darren Shan
“I don't think anyone ever remembers what they were really like as kids. Adults think they do, but they don't. Photos and videos don't capture the real you, or bring back to life the person you used to be. You have to return to the past to do that.” ThinkingPersonsRealKidsPastRememberUsedReturnAdultsVideoUsed To BeCaptureBe YouReal You Author:Darren Shan
“You didn't want to die. Most mortals don't, even if they find themselves in as desolate and soul-destroying a spot as you. Almost all of those who take their own lives wish at the last moment that they hadn't. They see at the end how much they've given up, how precious life is, even when it's treated them like dirt and crushed their dreams. Many think they've passed beyond hope, but they never really have, not until they pass beyond life itself. Alas, that knowledge comes too late for most would-be-suicides and they die with regret. Very few are offered the chance that you have been handed.” IfsThinkingWantHas BeensSoulEndsMomentsDreamWould BeLastsLife IsDiesGivenWishChanceRegretLateSuicideTreatedSpotsMortalsToo LateDestroyingDirtAlasGiven UpCrushedWanting To DieDesolatePrecious LifeHow Precious Life Is Author:Darren Shan
“You can't hang around waiting for somebody else to pull your strings. Destiny's what you make of it. You have to face whatever life throws at you. And if it throws more than you'd like, more than you think you can handle? Well then you just have to find the heroism within yourself and play out the hand you've been dealt. The universe never sets a challenge that can't be met. You just need to believe in yourself in order to find the strength to face it.” IfsThinkingNeedsBelieveWellsPlayHandsFacesOrderUniverseWaitingChallengesDestinyMetsHandleBelieve In YourselfStringsHeroismSelf Reliance Author:Darren Shan

“Look at me!" I roar. "Do you think you'll be the first I've killed today? I wasn't a murderer, but you changed me. I'm a monster now. And I'm hungry." "Meera!" Anotoine whines. "Prae! Please, I beg you. You're civilised people. Help me!" "We can't," Prae says coldly. "Even if we wanted to - and personally I have no problem with him gutting you - we couldn't.
