A highly productive day, ergo my place is a mess. I beg your pardon and offer thee books, post-haste, in lieu of a proper tribute.
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light! —Edna St. Vincent Millay

“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.” ― Hafiz of Shiraz
I ran faster, I stretched my arms farther, I tied myself to the mast of my ship and finished my linguistics assignment. My new plant Sylvia is settling into her home. My clothes smell like a bonfire and my eyes are tired. I hope you know, wherever you exist within the Void, that there’s always more. Happy Thanksgiving.
“But I can take it if I know you’re out there, surviving, getting through it. This won’t be forever. There’s a future. There really is. We’ll find a way.” —Patrick Ness
I did some aes edits on "More than this" by Patrick Ness😊 Like and repost if you like it?❤
The ask that tore my heart and shred it into pieces.
“Todd??”
One of my favourite books of all time.
There is not always a good guy. Nor is there always a bad one. Most people are somewhere in between.
Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls 🌵⭐️.
I don’t believe in guardian angels. Just people who are there for you and people who aren’t.
More Than This by Patrick Ness (who is an incredibly talented and underappreciated author, go read his books)
Gotta love those characters that you hated from the beginning but turn out to be one of your favorites bc of how complex and simply human they are and everything is all grey instead of black and white and they are just a product of their upbringing and that doesn’t excuse their actions but you understand them and they understand their own mistakes and regret them enough to spend their dying moments unburdening themselves with the truth and begging for forgiveness and it’s sad because you don’t know if they will ever really be at peace after being betrayed by the only two people they cared about and all they ever wanted was to be good enough and to be loved and to be respected and it cost them their life
THIS ISNT REAL
The first thing you find out when yer dog learns to talk is that dogs don't got nothing much to say. About anything.
The Knife of Never Letting Go; Patrick Ness
…you can bury stuff under other stuff, you can hide it in plain sight, you just don’t think it clearly or you convince yerself the opposite of what yer hiding is true and then who’s going to be able to pick out from the flood what’s real water and what’s not going to get you wet? Men lie, and they lie to theirselves worst of all.
The Knife of Never Letting Go; Patrick Ness
The Noise is a man unfiltered, and without a filter, a man is just chaos walking.
The Knife of Never Letting Go; Patrick Ness
Knowledge is dangerous and men lie and the world keeps on changing whether I want it to or not.
The Knife of Never Letting Go, Page 64; Patrick Ness
But a knife ain't just a thing, is it? It's a choice, it's something you do. A knife says yes or no, cut or not, die or don't. A knife takes a decision out of your hands and puts it in the world amd it never goes back again.

The answer is that it does not matter what you think, the monster said, because your mind will contradict itself a hundred times each day.
- A Monster Calls
I just finished the 5th wave! On to this book!
“‘Stories are wild creatures,’ the monster said. ‘When you let them loose, who knows what havoc they might wreak?’”
From A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
Here's a game: If you had to convince someone to read a book with only one line out of said book, which one would you use?
An absolutely gorgeous novel and film, the animation and art style for the monster and the tales were fantastic!
The guts of the monster!
