"On page 221, The characters existed more strongly in her mind than real people did…The afterglow would make her anxious – anxious enough to read the same book again. Finishing a book was something she never wanted to do.

"On page 180, ‘See the homeland—Don’t he know? Pretends he was too little to remember—can’t remember the Singapore they’re talking about. ‘What’s gonna surprise you—the eye of a storm coming—Everything’s colliding into everything.’ Digital memory failed to translate imaginary memory—the watching population surfed channels—There were not enough dots in the universe. In other words, to see it, you had to have been there yourself.’" — 4 minutes ago
