don’t believe in fate or a higher purpose. I believe we take these rare, unusual, nonsensical lives of ours and do whatever the hell we want. Don’t waste your life punishing yourself.”

“People die every day. Every hour. Every minute. Every second. One moment, we’re here. Next, we’re not. Where does one go when they pass? Their memories stay with us, their lifeless bodies waiting to be buried or cremated. But what truly happens? Do they become stars? Are they ghosts who stand by our sides when we need them the most? Are psychics legit, and do the dead communicate during readings?”

“I’ll want you until the day I die.” “I’ll want you even in death, Sellah. There’s no afterlife, but that doesn’t matter. I’ll love you until I’m dead in the dirt, then I’ll love you until my body is nothing but bones. And when my bones fade to dust coating the earth, I’ll still want you.”

“Finding the cure is only the tip of the iceberg. Those handling the following days, weeks, and months treating the patients have the hardest work. It isn’t easy witnessing so much suffering while trying to give both the sick people and their loved ones hope and the strength to keep fighting. It is heartbreaking every time you have to pull the plug on those who didn’t make it. And you keep asking yourself if there was something you could have done better, sooner, or differently that would have saved them.”
