Quotes by Nenia Campbell

“Happiness is such a fragile thing, isnt it? So easily burst, like a bubble blown by a child, and always on the verge of being carried away.”

“Once a flower is picked it immediately begins to die.”

“Death was not the scariest thing out there; no, the denial of it could be far worse.”

“Fairytales by nature only talk about the victors. The survivors. Nobody speaks about what happens to those who failed, except in the abstract: as cautionary tales to guide others onto the path to success. How many brave knights fell to the dragon before he was slayed by the noble prince? How many children burned to a crisp and eaten before the wicked witch received her due? These stories are lost, but the lesson behind them is not: it is not enough to be merely pure and good.”

“Nobody wants to believe that existence carries on without at least taking a stumble from their departure of this world.”
