“If this is what it is to burn, he thought, then I will be worth more as scattered ash than any of my unscathed pieces.”
― Olivie Blake, Alone With You in the Ether

“That old reflex never died; the little pang of Don't go, just stay. Settle over me like the tide, cover me like a blanket, wrap around me like the sun.
Don't go, don't go, don't go.”
― Olivie Blake, Alone With You in the Ether

“For every sensation Regan could conjure, there was an artist who had beautifully suffered the same.”
― Olivie Blake, Alone With You in the Ether

“Pretty, that's what you think this is? You think that's all she's capable of? You fool, she's done the impossible. She has explained everything there is to know about the world in less than the time it took for your eyes to filly focus, and do you realize that I will spend a lifetime trying to do the same never come close? This is an opus!, this is a triumph!, this is the meaning of life and you would think the answer would be satire, but it isn't, its Truth. She tomd the Truth like you could never dream of telling it, and I pity you, that you could see the inside of your own soul and reduce it like this, so pitylessly. So carelessly.”
― Olivie Blake, Alone With You in the Ether
