Quote by Katie Kacvinsky

“Why can't I be content with a structured, predictable life? Why do I have to take risks?...There are so many clean paths trimmed and paved and I always have to run through the middle, where there is no path; there are vines and brambles and rocks and holes and I fall down and scrape the hell out of my life. For what? Kicks?”

There was too much. Plunk. plunk, plunk, plunk. It was endless. A deluge!”
