Quote by John Payton Foden

“I want you to write like Alice Munro.  Stir the world.  Make people see the horror; show them their suffering relatives; show them that they’re not safe.  Let them know that they can’t even begin to imagine what’s happening here.  By making my reality more compelling than reality television is the only way you’ll get their attention. Psychotic and cynical. Who can tell the difference anymore between a severed head and a special effect?  Can you?  I doubt it, and I know you’ve been in the middle of it all and seen the damage first-hand.”

It hurts that you treat me like nothing and treat Adam like everything. It hurts how we’re all scared of you. Literally everything about you hurts me, and you don’t even care that it hurts.””

Todo lo que él sabía de ella había sido una mentira. —Lo siento mucho —terminó. Kai apartó la vista, buscando algún consuelo en el jardín resplandeciente. —Me duele más mirarte a ti que a ella.”
