I don't think that I could ever be a strict dad. I never grew up with anybody strict in my life. I'm not saying I'm a role model by any means or anything. I think the fact that I wasn't told what not to do all the time - my spirit kind of told me things that I shouldn't. I got to develop on my own. It's part of your common sense. ~Randy Houser

Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back. The stars looked like they were close together, when really they were millions of miles apart. In the end, maybe love just meant longing for something impossibly bright and forever out of reach. ~Leigh Bardugo

Something that will either change your life for the better, or end it forever. Chaos. ~James Michael
