Quote by Courtney Summers

“It's amazing how bad you can make the truth sound. As long as you keep it partially recognizable when you spit it out, a crowd will eat it up without even thinking about how hard you chewed on it first.”

Work

All the Rage

The title "All the Rage" has been employed for various creative works including novels, films, and nonfiction books. In common English usage, the expression denotes something that is currently very popular or fashionable, though it also carries connotations of intense emotion and collective fury. When appearing as a book title, it generally signals exploration of contemporary social issues, generational conflict, or the dynamics of public outrage. Without specifying a particular author or edition, the title suggests narrative engagement with how anger spreads through communities, the mechanisms of viral controversy, or the gap between surface trends and deeper discontent. The phrase itself emerged from idiomatic English where "rage" refers to both fashionable enthusiasm and violent emotion, creating inherent thematic tension suitable for works examining modern cultural polarization. more

“In every reign there comes one night of greatest blackness, when a King must send away his court of flatterers and servants, and sit alone in the dark with the beast called truth. In the gloom of the grand hall, Slately could hear it breathe. Truth at court was treated as if it were a precious commodity. It was hoarded, coveted, bartered for. Certainly this analogy applied to lies; his courtiers accepted his lies as currency of the realm. He handed them lies in large denominations, and they returned him his change in small ones. Oh, but truth was something different. Something alive and immortal. By light of day it was only a little butterfly: pretty, elusive, easily crushed, and utterly unable to defend itself. Most nights, too, it slept harmlessly. One could wave it away for a very long time. But on the nights it did not sleep, neither did the King.”

“I sit on a rock and watch children playing in the park below They don't see me Or know my thoughts Or that you haven't called But I forgive them their indifference today Above me a crow caws Perhaps he smells the crumbs on my dress Or my anger But he flits away over the trees Probably has a home Probably has a wife Probably knew to call The children leave The coffee in my can turns cold The wind nips at me Some street lights flicker on But I won't move Not yet I will wait for the night to chase me Back where I came from Up the empty street To a quiet house”
