“Before I can say I am, I was. Heraclitus and I, prophets of flux, know that the flux is composed of parts that imitate and repeat each other. Am or was, I am cumulative, too.

― Wallace Stegner, Angle of Repose

“I’m being haunted by Gaspar the Friendly Ghost.”
― Michael Phillip Cash, The After House
