“You want to brawl. You want to fight. Fighting tricks you into believing you can change the past, even when the past is dead and gone and all of it ashes.”
Ilsa J. Bick, Ashes“You really didn't appreciate how thick, how powerful water was until you had to fight it.”
Ilsa J. Bick, Monsters“No one can help but stare at the monster, because horror is a cousin to awe.”
Ilsa J. Bick, Monsters“What you couldn't see and only imagined was always scarier than what was real.”

Ilsa J. Bick, Ashes“They call it the drowning instinct. It's when drowning doesn't look like drowning. (pg. 241)”
Ilsa J. Bick, Drowning Instinct“...she said all writers were prima donnas, drunks, social misfits, pompous, or depressed. Brilliant, maybe, but completely crazy.”
Ilsa J. Bick, Drowning Instinct“Tell yourself you’re dead, the way Matt does, so the past can’t hurt you.”
Ilsa J. Bick, Drowning Instinct“Everybody breaks sooner or later, Bob. Anyone can drown. Sometimes you see it. Most often, youdon’t because the body protects and the skin hides, so drowning doesn’t look like drowning and somepeople scar so nicely. Take it from an expert.”
