quotes
-jericho barrons, the fever series
"And I’m sorry your pretty little world got all screwed up, but everybody’s does, and you go on. It’s how you go on that defines you"
“Some things are sacred. Until you act like they’re not. Then you lose them.”
-jericho barrons, the fever series
“Most people are good and occasionally do something they know is bad. Some people are bad and struggle every day to keep it under control. Others are corrupt to the core and don’t give a damn, as long as they don’t get caught. But evil is a completely different creature, Mac. Evil is bad that believes it’s good.”
"Occam’s razor: The simplest explanation that accommodates all variables is most likely the truth. "
"Each morning we wake up, we get to choose between hope and fear and apply one of those emotions to everything we do. "
“one must break with one’s past to embrace one’s future. It is never an easy thing to do. It is one of the distinguishing characteristics between survivors and victims. Letting go of what was, to survive what is.”
Womankind’s greatest mistakes: falling in love with a man’s potential. We so rarely share the same view of it, and even more rarely care to achieve it.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t mean to do it, Mac. Omission or commission—the end result is the same.”
Distinguish yourself, my mom had told Alina and me, in an age where girls often make themselves too available to boys, by making him work a little for your attention. He’ll think he’s won a prize when he gets it, and he’ll work that much harder to keep it. Boys turn into men and men put a premium on what’s hardest to get.
It’s our actions that define us. What we choose. What we resist. What we’re willing to die for.
“One day you may kiss a man you can’t breathe without, and find breath is of little consequence.” -jericho barrons, the fever series
“Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying natures, when ninety-nine percent of the time the totality of the reality is an entirely different beast. The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them. He thinks you have the heart of a warrior. He believes in you. Believe in him.”
The most confused we ever get is when we’re trying to convince our heads of something our heart knows is a lie.
You can’t change an unpleasant reality if you won’t acknowledge it, Mac. You can only control what you’re willing to face. Truth hurts. But lies can kill.
Don’t confuse intensity of emotion with quality of emotion
the heart had reasons of which reason knew nothing, the only quote of Pascal’s I remembered.
Life didn’t explode in the sunshine and pretty places. Life took the strongest root with a little bit of rain and a whole lot of shit for fertilizer.
Life’s an ocean, full of waves. All are dangerous. All can drown you. Under the right circumstances, even the gentlest swell can turn tidal. Hopping waves is for the weekend warrior. Choose one, ride it out. It increases your odds of survival.”
