“I am a mortal who was raised by Death. I'm a man who has loved, and been loved, by a god.”
― Olivie Blake, Masters of Death

“In any case, I have a number of things to do, so I'm going to leave you with this: try not to take it personally when I see you again. It's bound to happen, after all, and I'd like to be able to keep it friendly between us, if we can. We're both simply fulfilling our purposes, aren't we? You're a mortal, and I'm Death. It could never have gone any other way. But, if Fox is to be believed, then it isn't the worst thing to meet and end. To have lived is, as he tells it, reward enough in itself.”
― Olivie Blake, Masters of Death

“You can't simply look at time as a function of comings and goings. Time is always in motion, even if you personally opt to desist. Whether you come or go or leave or stay, time continues. People are left. People are found. To think that resigning yourself to permanence is itself a state of permanence is already made in error.”
― Olivie Blake, Masters of Death

“To love, to forgive, to lose, to live - it was always a choice, and thus, the fact that he was a mortal was finally one worth celebrating. Because it would end! Maybe that was the entire secret, and therefore the whole thing was actually astonishingly simple. That over and over, he was presented with the same impossible decision - live and suffer, love and grieve - but still, every time, with all his being, his answer was and would always be yes. It would be difficult and painful, and however it ended, it would end - but still, he could choose it. To live, to love; it was always a choice, and inherently a brave one, to face down certain doo, with open arms.”
