Quote by Toby R. Beeny

“It began with a poem, with words. Words were all I had, dull echoes in my brain. Fragile cobwebs. Her lipstick words pressed against my memories. 'Stop thinking,' I repeated to myself like a mantra. But we do not think memories, memories think us.”

“I felt the taste of mortality in my mouth, and at that moment I understood that I was not going to live forever. It takes a long time to learn that, but when you finally do, everything changes inside you, you can never be the same again. I was seventeen years old, and all of a sudden, without the slightest flicker of a doubt, I understood that my life was my own, that it belonged to me and no one else. I’m talking about freedom, Fogg. A sense of despair that becomes so great, so crushing, so catastrophic, that you have no choice but to be liberated by it. That’s the only choice, or else you crawl into a corner and die.”
