• “It was the oldest sound there was. Souls flying away.”
• “And I was struck all at once how life was out there going through its regular courses, and I was suspended, waiting, caught in a terrible crevice between living my life and not living it.”
• “We walked along the river with the words streaming behind us like ribbons in the night.”
• “People who think dying is the worst thing don't know a thing about life.”
