“Death carves a clear line between the dead and the living,' she said in a solemn tone. 'The dead are over there and the rest of us are over here. When someone dies, no matter how great they were, it's like drawing a permanent line between that person and the rest of humanity. If birth means begging to join the side of the living, then death has the power to kick everyone out. That's why I think death, with its power to sever things forever, is far more objective, more dignified, than birth, which is the starting point of everything.”

“I still can't help but wonder, do our lives truly hold no meaning? Even if you try desperately to find it, to contrive some kind of meaning, is it true that what's not there isn't there? Does life leave only misery behind? Could the fact that we're alive—the fact that we're in this life where joy and terror and peace and danger mingle—couldn't that itself be the meaning of life?”

“But when she became hungry, everything changed. She became incapable of empathy, of putting herself in someone else’s shoes, and hardly considered another person or the smallest etiquette. In these situations, I had no choice but to wait until she filled her stomach. She seemed like an animal then, or even worse a sociopath, someone who could easily take a piece of bread from a starving child or elderly person. But once satiated, she emerged like an enlightened saint.”
