Amie Kaufman Quotes Rp Meme : Part One
“You have me. Until the last star in the galaxy dies, you have me.”
“I am frequently underestimated. I think it's because I'm short.”
“She is catalyst. She is chaos. I can see why he loves her.”
“Letting yourself get hurt isn’t brave, love. Brave is protecting others from hurt.”
“There are monsters among us, it’s true. But there are heroes too.”
“Whatever they've done to me, whatever I am--I love you. Don't forget that.”
“Love, and trust. The things that make us human. They could have been mine, if only I could have leapt. If only we could have leapt.”
“ ‘Right’ is whatever the people who’re standing at the end say it is. ‘Right’ is decided by the people who win.
“Things always look darkest in the middle of the night.”
“You deserve every star in the galaxy laid out at your feet and a thousand diamonds in your hair. You deserve someone who'll run with you as far and as fast as you want to. Holding your hand, not holding you back. You deserve more than I could ever give you.But I'll give you everything I can if you still want me to.”
“Do moons choose the planets they orbit? Do planets choose their stars? Who am I to deny gravity? When you shine brighter than an constellation in the sky?”
“But she's here, she's mine. I'm hers.”
“Perhaps bravery is simply the face humanity wraps around its collective madness.”
“It’s not about what I say, right? It’s what I do that matters here.”
“And now, born from the ashes, she’s a warrior in bloodied black.”
“Every story needs its hero. And its villain. And its monster.”
“Live a life worth dying for.”
“You don’t understand the unbearable beauty of being you.”
“Miracles are statistical improbabilities. And fate is an illusion humanity uses to comfort itself in the dark. There are no absolutes in life, save death.”
“Numbers do not feel. Do not bleed or weep or hope. They do not know bravery or sacrifice. Love and allegiance. At the very apex of callousness, you will find only ones and zeros.”
"There'a billion different versions of you out there, in a trillion different universes. And I still can't get over how lucky I am that, out of all those versions, you're the one that's mine.”
“Patience and Silence had one beautiful daughter. And her name was Vengeance.”
“You don't mention death when it's hovering near someone you love. You don't want to attract the reaper's attention.”
“The more you lose, the more you realize you don't have much left.”
“I should have told you I loved you every day. I should have given you the stars.”
Why not believe? If in faith you risk nothing, but through faithlessness, you risk everything?”
“I am not feeling nothing.”
“May we meet again on distant shores.”
“The universe was here before you, and it will go on after you. The only way it will remember you is if you do something worthy of remembrance.”
“But who names a starship the Icarus? What kind of man possess that much hubris, that he dares it to fall?”
“The universe owes you nothing...It has already given you everything, after all. It was here long before you, and it will go on long after you. The only way it will remember you is if you do something worthy of remembrance.”
“The mere sight of her is water in an endless desert.”
“And there it is, against all hope, like the sun peeking out from behind the clouds. The smallest hint of a smile.”
“Part of being alive is having life change us. The people around us, the events we live through, all of them shape us. And that's what I think you're afraid of. Maybe not of dying. But of this you, the you you've become, ceasing to exist.”
“Some people, when they lose it, they scream, they fight. I hope that would be me”
“You are the fire I long to burn inside,"
“If I breathed, I would sigh. I would scream. I would cry.”
“It may comfort you to know that your death, while astonishingly violent, will likely be mercifully swift.”
“There is no love in violence”
“I think I'd like to be unconscious again, please.”
“And blood and tears and screams did not matter anymore, because at least they are together.”
“..Look out at the nothing and feel it looking back. Then you know exactly how much you add up to.”
“She runs. Not away, but toward.”
“Tomorrow is worth a million yesterdays.”
“Sure, the story kicks off with the deaths of thousands of people, but god forbid there be cussing in it, right?”
“We have failed, but I hope they will see how hard we tried.”
“The sound of her name is like music.”
“The die is cast. But today we will shake the table upon which it lands.”
“Most people would say I’m pretty cold, but I think of it more as…private. People are always saying “how are you?” to each other, and I guess I don’t see why I should answer such a personal question for just anyone.”
“I am not good. Nor am I evil. I am no hero. Nor am I villain.“
“I had no idea how safe I was, because I’d never been unsafe.”
“What you do when stuff like this happens is you LIVE, you survive it, that's how you honour the ones you lost.”
“Everyone's right, and everyone's wrong.”
“It is entirely possible to be alone in a crowded room. Your solitude only compounded by the faces around you. The presence of others serving only to remind you of how lonely you truly are.”
“I know a thousand different smiles, each with its own nuanced shade of meaning, but I don't know how to reach the few feet away to touch this person next to me. I don't know how to talk to him. Not when it's real.”
“Who wants to be normal when you can be interesting instead?”
“Then she smiles, and it turns out she has dimples, and it's all over.”
“When the light that kisses the back of her eyes were birthed, her ancestors were not yet born. How many human lives have ended in the time it took that light to reach her?How many people have loved only to have lost? How countless, the hopes that have died?But not this one.”
“How do you live again, knowing what waits for you in the end?”
“This tiny moment. In between the time you decide to pull a trigger and the time death arrives. There's just you and it and everything you're about to take away. It's too big. It goes forever.”
“I will see you in the stars.”
“When we allow ourselves to explore, we discover destinations that were never on our map.”
“What do you know of souls and hearts and how they break here? You don't know me at all.”
“Is your request not to punch you still in effect, sir?”
“Just because you're not saying it doesn't mean you're not thinking it.”
'You're the same girl who crashed on this planet with me, who I dragged through forests and over mountains, who climbed through a shipwreck full of bodies to save my life. You're the same girl I loved, and I love you now.”
“You're the most important thing in this universe. You; this vessel; the people of this planet; lovers, warriors, artists, leaders, dreams more numerous than stars. Each mind unique, each thought created for an instant and then broken apart to form new ones. You don't understand the unbearable beauty of being you.”
“You humans fascinate me. I am shattered fragments of what I once once. But even with all the King's horses and all the King's men, I wonder if even I could truly comprehend you.”
“I'm not going to sit here and spitball about hyperspatial reality theory with a psychopathic calculator. This conversation is over.”
“There is something in humanity more suited to the mechanics of murder than any machine yet devised.”
“There are no stars, because there are never any stars here, only a thick darkness that rushes down her throat and into her heart. She dreams of drowning.”
“He would lose every game. And he still insisted on playing. I wondered at the futility of it. If it is the definition of insanity to repeat the same process and expect a different outcome, most of humanity must be insane.”
“But free will is what it means to be human, and no one can determine the path you take through this universe. Choice is our greatest right, our greatest gift-and our greatest responsibility.”
“Abandon her? If only my duty or my conscience would let me. The galaxy would be better off, if you ask me. Who’d even know we were in the same pod? Except that I would know. And that would be enough.”

Honestly I cannot overstate how much seeing Hayden as TCW Anakin changed EVERYTHING. Matt Lanter's Anakin is a frat dude. He wears a backwards baseball hat and says vaguely offensive things without realizing, while being a fundamentally chill and outgoing guy at heart. Hayden's Anakin is... not that. His voice. His expressions. His physical presence. It's off somehow. It's just left of normal. It's completely unremarkable and yet deeply uncanny for reasons you can't quite describe. TCW Anakin was always a flatter, blander portrayal, but I don't think I realized until now what exactly was missing: the serial killer energy. The inarticulable conviction that SOMETHING unhinged is going on behind those eyes.
#also the difference between TCW anakin's charm and ROTS anakin's charm#tcw: outgoing. does finger guns. nonplussed socially sometimes but still confident. able to be charming#rots: competent. exuberant. frothing with rage. so shy and awkward he fully cant function. insecure. an entire tank yet fragile as glass#charming only because hes both SO COMPETENT and also so categorically unable to purposefully be charming#ITS SO DIFFERENT. WILDLY DIFFERENT. I DID NOT REALIZE HOW DIFFERENT IT WOULD BE#im so glad i got to see this honestly#im going to be reimagining tcw episodes with this version of anakin in them as my bedtime story from now on#i hate to be a broken record but KAREN MILLER CAPTURES THIS#star wars#grace for ts#anakin#ahsoka show#truly truly truly truly truly transformative for me as a person to have seen this#tcw anakin comes into the room loudly quipping and complaining#rots anakin stands there quietly until he smiles and you realize his teeth are covered in blood

Sharing the Sunlight Fanzine & Novel | Drawings by Chris Soto, 1992
Entire work available to read here!
Editorial note from author Jenna Sinclair:
"I have been in love with the Star Trek universe and its characters for twenty-five years now. I wrote my first 'novella' in the seventh grade. Over the years I wrote sporadically, mostly in my head, never, ever satisfied, knowing that there was an elusive 'something' I was unable to grasp. But then I discovered K/S! Unbelievably, it took me a good twenty-three and a half years to do it! I felt as if I had been working on a puzzle all that time, and finally the pieces flew naturally into place. Like just about everybody else, I became obsessed. In six months, I read about 200 zines (yes, I was broke and suffering from eyestrain), and then I sat down to write an established relationship short story, as a way of saying 'thank you' to all the K/S authors, artists, and editors who had given me so much pleasure. That story refused to be written, and this first time novel came flowing from my pen instead. The first 120 pages were composed on a 25 year old typewriter which lacked a 'k,' a '/', and a '-'. You try writing a novel with Kirk, Spock, and other fairly essential words without a 'k'!"
