Mitski Quotes Novels & Stories

Something falls. I bend and pick it up. It is a photo of a young Quinn with a girl. They are both locked in a tight embrace kissing. Quinn with a smile that reaches his eyes. He looks very happy. I turn to look at the back. There is a quote, 'These violent delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die, like fire and powder Which, as they kiss, consume'. Then it is signed, with love, Misha.

I turned to look at him, exhaling rapidly before I talked. “I know he won't make that mistake of attacking first again. And if he plans to, we act on the famous quotes.” I said as I took a deep breath, wiping my face with my palm. “What famous quote are you talking about?” He asked as his eyes were opened widely, raising an eyebrow and looking rather curious. I smirked a little, tilting my head to face the direction of the crib of my baby. “Never interrupt your enemies when they are making a mistake,” I said slowly as if I were counting my words as they came out of my mouth. I adjusted on the bed, leaning forward a bit as I exhaled rapidly. Lucas took a deep breath as he licked his lips.

"I cherish our friendship, and I'll always be here for you." A small smile tugged at the corners of my lips, a glimmer of hope in the midst of my pain. Misha's presence had a way of lifting my spirits, and he knew just how to bring some semblance of joy back into my life. "You know," he said, his voice filled with mischief, “let’s go out. Just to get your mind off things."

Before him stretched the crowd—rows of students, families, teachers. In the back, Rishi grinned from within a circle of baseball teammates. Misaki was recording on her phone. Even Kenta, the boy from the elementary school, had snuck into the crowd, waving shyly from the front row. Kimura took a deep breath. Then closed the folder. “In the end,” he said, letting the words fall like stones in still water, “I want to borrow a line from a certain idiot: ‘As long as you’re alive, there’s still a chance to change everything.’”

“Okay, I see your point. Not all of them are great, but, I mean, different cultures?” Kimi shook her head. “Nuh-uh. Do not use the ‘Some people juggle geese’ excuse.” “What?” I asked. “Firefly quote,” Kam explained. She flipped us all off. “Suck it. I still love them.” “Just don’t act blind to their faults,” Kimi growled.
