Helyn’s Quotes

“She had stuff to give, but it was ungiven; it was locked away.”
― Matt Haig, The Humans

“But what happened in Heaven? What did you do there? After a while, didn't you crave flaws? Love and lust and misunderstandings,, and maybe even a little violence to liven things up? Didn't light need shade? Didn't it? Maybe it didn't. Maybe I was missing the point. Maybe the point was to exist with an absence of pain. Yes, to exist with an absence of pain. Yes, maybe that was the only aim you needed in life. It certainly had been, but what happened if you'd never required that aim because you were born after their goal had been met?”
― Matt Haig, The Humans

“But a human, in its own small way, was a kind of miraculous achievement, in mathematical terms.”

“Suddenly it made me realize why religion was such a big thing around here. Because, yes, sure, God could not exist. But then neither could humans. So if they believed in themselves--the logic must go-- why not believe in something that was only a fraction more unlikely?”
― Matt Haig, The Humans
