Adam Silvera, They Both Die at the End

"Entire lives aren’t lessons, but there are lessons in lives."

"No one goes on, but what we leave behind keeps us alive for someone else."

"I think we’re already dead, dude. Not everyone, just Deckers. The whole Death-Cast thing seems too fantasy to be true. Knowing when our last day is going down so we can live it right? Straight-up fantasy. The first afterlife kicks off when Death-Cast tells us to live out our day knowing it’s our last; that way we’ll take full advantage of it, thinking we’re still alive. Then we enter the next and final afterlife without any regrets"

"No matter how we choose to live, we both die at the end."

"I've spent years living safely to secure a longer life, and look where that's gotten me. I'm at the finish line but I never ran the race."

"I guess I could call this energy freedom. No one will be around to judge me tomorrow. No one will send messages to his friends about the lame kid who had no rhythm. And in this moment, how stupid it is to care hits me like a punch to the face."

"Yes, we live, or we're given the chance to, at least, but sometimes living is hard and complicated because of fear."
