Jigsaw Puzzle Quotes

“I deliberately seek out the colors to keep my mind off them, but now and then, I witness the ones who are left behind, crumbling among the jigsaw puzzle of realization, despair and surprise.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“It is the twenty-third of June nineteen seventy-five, and it is eight o'clock in the evening. Seated at his jigsaw puzzle, Bartlebooth has just died.”
― Georges Perec, Life: A User's Manual

“Imagine God as a mirror. The Devil is the shattered mirror, exploded into a myriad of splinters. God as a single mirror is made up of countless individual minds, but they are so harmonized, so integrated, so symmetrical, that they are indistinguishable and constitute a perfect Unity. However, when the perfect mirror breaks, it breaks everywhere, disconnecting every mind from the perfect hive. The perfect mirror has zero entropy. The exploded mirror has maximum entropy. Entropy is the Devil. Entropy is matter. Once the mirror - as a living entity - has broken, it needs to reconstitute itself, like a jigsaw puzzle. It needs to recreate God. That is the goal and meaning of existence.”
― Harry Knox, God Is a Hive Mind: The Cellular Divinity

“I’m a jigsaw puzzle with plenty of missing pieces. 
But it doesn’t matter anymore.
The jigsaw puzzle is still an illusion.
All pieces, no pieces, or half of them missing, 
what does it matter when it’s all an illusion.
It might help to find all the right pieces,
but then what?
I still have to wake up.
It’s all a dream,
masterly put together.”
― Nanne Nyander, The Struggle of Going Nowhere

“Find your place in a jigsaw puzzle
of our reality.”
― Enock Maregesi

“Fragmented memories,
lost or not lost are holding me back. 
But aren’t they just memories?
What am I?
Not a memory.
Small tiny memories not quite remembered,
are keeping me bound to this world. 
Why do they come up now?
I was so near, everything was so calm. 
Everything was so clear.
And now I’m up in the mind again,
trying to find solutions to the non-existing problem. 
The jigsaw puzzle doesn’t want to be solved, 
doesn’t want to be put together,
doesn’t want to reveal the whole picture. 
But does it really matter?”
― Nanne Nyander, The Way Back Home: Poems

“A jigsaw puzzle?'

Amren fitted a tiny piece into the section she'd been working on. 'Am I supposed to be doing something else during my Solstice holiday?”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Frost and Starlight
