“As hard as I try, as hard as I always try, I cannot keep the sounds inside. Pain is a unique thing. You can feel so much of it at once that you don’t feel anything at all. You can have a little bit of pain and feel like crawling into a hole and dying. Then there’s the other amount of pain, the kind where it feels like the whole world is caving in on you and nothing will ever matter until it goes away, and everything is better again, and then you realize that you can’t keep in the screams, the laughter, the tears, the shouts. Everything wants to express itself at once because if it doesn’t, you will break into a million pieces and the pain will take over in ways it didn't before.” LifePainEmotionBroken Author:Julia Elizabeth Brannon
“Think of it like this: people are kind of like books. On the outside, we might appear to be one thing, but on the inside, we are another. Some of us are fresh new books, recently published or in their prime of popularity. Some are big books, some small. There are old, worn out books that have been loved but are now falling apart. It’s about how you look at it. You may have been left on an old shelf collecting dust, but it’ll always be just until the next person comes around and decides they want it. Our books are never finished. We write ourselves a future, we decide our fate.” Life LessonsFateBooks Author:Julia Elizabeth Brannon
“I’m still not sure what she’s trying to accomplish here. Revenge, sure, but what happens after? If you try to get back at everything that’s wronged you, you’ll get stuck in a never-ending loop of fighting the world, a world that can’t be fought. The universe is not the enemy here. It’s not out to get us. And even if it is, well . . . good luck and wake me up after the war.” LifeUniverseRevenge Author:Julia Elizabeth Brannon
