“In spite of everything, the days on this planet are still made of light, and the darkness of night still fills us with fear. And we’re still here, Almodôvar. We’re still here.”
― David Machado, The Shelf Life of Happiness

“Hey, I might suck at history, but I can make it.”
― Adam Silvera, The First to Die at the End

“I understand that the person who gets the Death-Cast call isn’t the only one dying. If you really hold someone in your heart, you die too.”
― Adam Silvera, The First to Die at the End

“Why did I not die? More miserable than man ever was before, why did I not sink into forgetfulness and rest? Death snatches away many blooming children, the only hopes of their doting parents: how many brides and youthful lovers have been one day in the bloom of health and hope, and the next a prey for worms and the decay of the tomb! Of what materials was I made, that I could thus resist so many shocks, which, like the turning of the wheel, continually renewed the torture?
But I was doomed to live;”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
