Ned Vizzini said this quote

“ What happened when you woke up? I was having a dream. I don’t know what it was, but when I woke up, I had this awful realization that I was awake. It hit me like a brick in the groin. Like a brick in the groin, I see.I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare. And what is that nightmare, Craig?Life. Life is a nightmare.Yes. ”
