And in that way, I know everything will be some type of okay—as impossible as that can seem sometimes.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Atmosphere

“Thoughts are just a different kind of bacteria, colonizing you. I thought about the gut-brain information axis. Maybe you're already gone. The prisoners run the jail now. Not a person so much as a swarm. Not a bee, but the hive.”
