Quote by Emily Antoinette

“But what people don't tell you is that when you start to achieve your dreams, it doesn't stop there. You don't get a gold star and then spend your days basking in your accomplishments. No, you have to keep working. You certainly don't have time to celebrate. Instead, the bar moves higher and the pressure to maintain success becomes a weight that threatens to crush you if you lose focus.”

Make it good. Together.” I tip my head against the door and think of forever.”

“The next revolution is knowing that you are dead already. I, Joshua Newton, am dust. I am blowing across continents and oceans. I’m an exploding ball of fire, hurtling through space in a million different directions. I am distant light and distant worlds and distant life.”
