“The best thing the universe ever gave us is that we'll all be forgotten. [...] I kinda like the idea. That when we die, despite any pain or fear or embarrassment we experienced during our lives, despite any heartbreak or grief, we get to be dispersed back into nothingness. It makes me feel brave, knowing I'll get a blank slate at the end. You get a brief glimmer of consciousness to do with what you will and then it's given back to the universe again. I'm not religious, but even I can appreciate that that's redemption, on the grandest scale. Oblivion isn't scary; it's the closest thing to genuine absolution of sin that I can imagine.”

“Everything may be black and white in your world, but in reality there's a hell of a lot of gray.”
― K.J. McPike, Xodus

“We were characters out of a movie. We were thoroughly alive. And we were absolutely beautiful.”
― Krystal Sutherland, Our Chemical Hearts

“People love what they're used to, I guess."
"No." You shook your head. "People should love what needs loving. That way they can save it.”
― Lucy Christopher, Stolen
