August 20 Nugget





 

August 20, 2015

"Usually we walk around constantly believing ourselves. “I’m okay” we say. “I’m alright”. But sometimes the truth arrives on you and you can’t get it off. That’s when you realize that sometimes it isn’t even an answer–it’s a question. Even now, I wonder how much of my life is convinced."
The Book Thief, Markus Zusak

"People have a habit of inventing fictions they will believe wholeheartedly in order to ignore the truth they cannot accept."
The Sweet Far Thing, Libba Bray

I have convinced myself of a great many things in my life. I have invented fictions to ignore the truth.
No more.  And never again.
