“We are all just floating in space, okay? Think about it, we're just ghosts in skeletons, inside skin bags, floating on a rock in space. If there is anything that would make you feel happy to do, please do it.”
― Emily Austin, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead

“Everything matters so much and so little; it is disgusting.”
― Emily R. Austin, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead

“I wonder how often I occupy spaces that were recently inhabited by dead people. I wonder who will occupy the spaces I've inhabited, after I'm dead.”
― Emily R. Austin, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead

“I have chosen happiness. Out of all the emotions set out on the table, I have selected it. It is by far the superior option. It’s insane to think I would have ever picked one of those shittier emotions before—when all the while, I could have chosen shiny, shimmering, iridescent happiness.”
