“i hate the whole 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' saying. its bullshit.sometimes what doesn't kill you is worse. sometimes what kills you is preferable. sometimes what doesn't kill you messes you up so bad its always a fight to make it through what you're left with. what didn't kill me didn't make me stronger. what didn't kill me made me a victim, but i made me stronger. i made me a survivor.”
― Tess Sharpe, The Girls I've Been

“I laughed. 'I have a harder rule to follow.'
He laughed too.
He touched my shoulder—then smiled. 'Bullshit, Ari. You have the
harder rule to follow? Buffalo shit. Coyote shit. All you have to do is
be loyal to the most brilliant guy you’ve ever met—which is like
walking barefoot through the park. I, on the other hand, have to
refrain from kissing the greatest guy in the universe—which is like
walking barefoot on hot coals.”

“I am Yonghun Han, and I am not. Prasert loved me, and he did not. The me that I was before this body disappeared—that was the Yonghun that Prasert loved. I am only the body that came back. I am the recursion, the vessel necessary for the love to return, a love so great it has overcome the death of its previous vessels to live in this world again, searching for what it had lost. I am the body buried in a body, I had buried my redundant-self in my nanodroid-self. My cells in my nanites. But the memories buried in my code passed on from my redundant-self to my nanodroid body, and that was what had been waiting between the lines to be read out again. To tell its narrative.”
― Anton Hur, Toward Eternity
