| 3c0b7e3 | The older I get, the less I understand. I love my son. He means everything to me. And yet, I can't escape the feeling that I'm failing him. Sending him off to the wolves with nothing but the crumbs of my uncertain perspective. | Blake Crouch | ||

| 11ca125 | Esa es la belleza de la juventud. Hay una levedad que permea en todo porque todavia no has tomado esas malditas decisiones, no te has comprometido con ningun sendero, y el camino delante de ti se abre en disyuntivas puras, limpias, de potencial ilimitado. Amo | Blake Crouch | ||
| 90c4918 | The search for meaning was the cornerstone of human disquiet. | wayward-pines-series | Blake Crouch | |
| dc2ac9b | It will occur to him months from now that if this had been a movie, he wouldn't have done it. Wouldn't have sunk to the level of this monster. But the ugly truth is it never even crosses Ethan's mind not to do it. And though he will continually dream about the crash, about all the things Aashif did to him, this moment will never haunt him. He will only wish it could have lasted longer. | Blake Crouch | ||
| 7ae12c3 | Even as those five words cross my mind, I'm not exactly certain what they mean, or how to begin to consider their full weight. So I say it again. I try it on. See how it fits. This is not my world. | Blake Crouch | ||
| 05aae2b | I'm sure that's just what Mr. Worthington was thinking as Luther Kite butchered him. 'Boy, I'm glad I have this faith. | Blake Crouch | ||
| d5dbc0b | Of course it's for you. But it's also so those little diseased children don't become dracula snacks. We need to get them safe so they can be sick and die in peace. | Blake Crouch | ||

| 8269024 | Did you fabricate a silver lining there?" "If they had their faith, I believe they're in heaven." "I'm sure that's just what Mr. Worthington was thinking as Luther Kite butchered him. 'Boy, I'm glad I have this faith.'" " | Blake Crouch | ||
| 61d3e52 | The box isn't all that different from life. If you go in with fear, fear is what you'll find. | Blake Crouch | ||

| babaf40 | Ethan didn't miss those things. Didn't wish that his son was growing up in a world where people stared at screens all day. Where communication had devolved into the tapping of tiny letters and humanity lived by and large for the endorphin kick from the ping of a received text or a new e-mail. | Blake Crouch | ||
| ac85270 | A quick glance left and right. | Blake Crouch | ||
| b5524de | As the doors closed and the elevator began to ascend, Randall frowned. "What's wrong?" Jenny asked. "The elevator music. I think it's a Metallica cover." She listened for a moment, then nodded. "I think you're right." "When did it become okay to do that to Metallica? There's no more decency in the world." | Blake Crouch | ||

| 5d83194 | They say all art--whether books, music, or visual--is a reaction to other art, and I believe that to be true. | Blake Crouch | ||

| 41dad91 | we numb our minds to sleep on all manner of screens and HD entertainment, the meaning of life, of our existence and purpose, becomes lost. | Blake Crouch | ||
| 7b6ec1b | I hate clowns!" "That's not a real clown," another boy said. "That's just some guy dressed up like a clown!" -- | Blake Crouch | ||
| d88bf83 | Shanna's words hung in the air like a crooked painting. | Blake Crouch | ||
| 8d8dc72 | Theolonious frowned. "So is a werewolfskunkdeer a person who changes into something that's a wolf, skunk, and deer all at once, like it has fur and Bambi eyes and sprays skunk spray, or is it a person who can change into a wolf or a skunk or a deer?" | Blake Crouch | ||
| a11912b | Could a werewolf eat a baby whole, in one bite?" asked Anthony. "I suppose one could," Hollis said. Actually, he knew that one could. Firsthand. Heh heh. "So when it pooped out the baby, would the baby be a werepoopwolf?" "What if a werepoopwolf bit a werewolfwolfskunkdeer?" "It would be a werewolfwolfwolfpoopskunkdeer." | Blake Crouch | ||
| 6eee362 | Day'll come, when he's grown and it's too late, that you'd give a kingdom to go back and spend a single hour with your son as a boy. | Blake Crouch | ||
| 251d361 | Considering what he'd been through in the last five days, rote hallucinations would've been a welcome return to sanity. | Blake Crouch | ||
| 120c18b | Jesus, the stink is making my eyes water." Harry said. "It smells like some fat guys with BO ate bad cheese and took a group shit on a rotting corpse." | Blake Crouch | ||
| c44acae | What do you think Nate the Nose is going to do to us when he finds out we lost his shit? We're both going to be eating San Francisco Hot Dogs, Willie." Willie's eyes got wide. Apparently the idea of having his dick cut off, boiled, and fed to him on a bun with a side of fries was several times worse than a whack to the hernia." | Blake Crouch | ||
| 169c489 | But after absolute loss, it still continues." "What?" "You. Consciousness. There is life after hope, you know." | Blake Crouch | ||
| 40c21a4 | On the minus side, I'd been driving for six straight hours, and I was hungry, tired, and needed to pee. I also needed gas, according to my gauge. Maybe Murray could take care of all my needs. Assuming I could find Murray's before falling asleep, running out of fuel, starving to death, and wetting my pants. | Blake Crouch | ||
| ab0f256 | A monitor, processor, and keyboard stood separately on the floor -- an old Tandy 1000 with the letters and numbers worn completely off the keys. | Blake Crouch | ||
| 6e79624 | Life had become something you clung to, that you bit down hard on against the pain, like the rubber block in a session of electroshock therapy. | Blake Crouch | ||
| 92840e5 | Mick the Mick tried to concentrate on reading the page, but his gaze kept flicking up to the trees. The prehistoric landscape lapsed into deadly silence. Then, like some giant monster coming out of the jungle, a giant monster came out of the jungle. | Blake Crouch | ||

| 2fa6fcd | He'd been filling up his Suburban--a feat that required a small business loan at current prices--and had missed Shanna's call. | Blake Crouch | ||
| abfb4ef | Shit. He was going to need a bigger gun. Not a problem. | Blake Crouch | ||
| 76dd92e | Pope smiled. "You're thinking all wrong, boy. There's no such thing as law or government inside this room. It's just you and me. I am the one and only authority in your little world, whose borders are these walls. I could kill you right now if I wanted to." | Blake Crouch | ||
| ada603b | Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, Paul Chambers, Bill Evans, and Jimmy Cobb playing "All Blues," a moody, blues form piece in 6/8, off the 1959 album Kind of Blue." | Blake Crouch | ||
| 14ff79a | And stayed down, but his two friends were closing in--they'd be here in ten seconds--and behind them, a block back, that army of flashlights moved like a herd of cattle up the street, the sound of numerous footfalls on wet pavement getting louder and louder. Ethan fled back into the alley, relieved to find that those pair of lights he'd seen last time had vanished. | Blake Crouch |
