“What is the meaning of life?”
“Snow will only appear during winter,” he said quietly, “and can only exist in the cold wind. Therefore, its life exists only during the depths of winter.” He pulled his hand back into the carriage and held it next to the copper oven. The snow began to melt, turning into water, which flowed through the creases of his palm.
“Snow can only live in the winter. When it nears a fire, it dies. That is its life. It may yearn for summer, but… it can only desire it. In my hand, the snow becomes water, because this is not its world….”
― Er Gen

“Love is just a word, but you bring it definition.”
― Anth

“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”

“I have just realized that the stakes are myself
I have no other
ransom money, nothing to break or barter but my life”
