Decades Quotes

“The uncertainty wore on him. The conditions in jail--the handcuffs, the noise, the filth, the crowding--mangled his senses.

Subtle changes all around me.
The people come and go like the ebb and flow of the tides.

Their hairline recedes and begins to thin,
their jaw slackens as their bellies spread
From the endless sitting in chairs
for meetings about subjects that five years from now
will only be a distant memory.”
― Endreketta H.

It was boldly embedded, but we are just realizing it today, maybe because we don't take note or don't care to notice.”

I wasn't going to leave this mountain alive.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses
