Ellis Fossati

“Odd how the daily imperatives persist even in the face of collective disaster.”
― Dan Simmons, Hyperion

“The heater spits a chorus of steam, his bones no longer brittle and cold. The ice man melted, a new form waiting to emerge once all the crystals get shaken away.”
― Lee Matthew Goldberg, The Ancestor

“I believe existence is meant to be a love story. ”
― Elizabeth Bristol, Mary Me: One Woman’s Incredible Adventure with God

“The problem (as I’d learned, repeatedly) was that thirty-six hours in, with your body in full revolt, and the remainder of your un-opiated life stretching out bleakly ahead of you like a prison corridor, you needed some fairly compelling reason to keep moving forward into darkness, rather than falling straight back into the gorgeous feather mattress you’d so foolishly abandoned.”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
