QUOTES BY Walter Myers

Cutting people out of your life is easy, keeping them in is hard.

It's a hard life sometimes and the biggest temptation is to let how hard it is be an excuse to weaken

That's what's wrong with women. They want you to wait for them until they get ready and then they don't even tell you how they feel.

Reading is not optional.

Sometimes when things get hard, we tend to set our sights on what's hard, that difficult thing that keeps us upset, and we turn our back on our strengths.

Each time I think there is no place lower to go, I find that there is at least one place that will mess you up worse than you were.

My life is not packaged, Not tidy. There are leftover strands and jagged Edges that cut even my friends.

They take away your shoelaces and your belt so you can’t kill yourself no matter how bad it is. I guess making you live is part of the punishment.

The beast is the monster that destroys your dream

If anyone could look into my head See or feel the dread that has captured Me or see within this sad, unhappy brain They would only turn away Turn away.

The best time to cry is at night, when the lights are out and someone is being beaten up and screaming for help.
