“Why are you here?
I'm here because this is where my Mom's family is from and after my parents got divorced, she kept the house. Because I was conceived and born and grew up. I'm breathing and my heart is beating and as much as it hurts—as much searing, monumental pain as it causes me—I have to exist.”
― Paper Valentine

“Ghosts are waiting in the shadows of the room, patient dull shimmers. The others can see them, too, I know it. We’re all afraid to talk about what stares at us from the dark.”

“In the end, you could not say that Margo Roth Spiegelman was fat, or that she was skinny, any more than you can say that the Eiffel Tower is or is not lonely. Margo's beauty was a kind of sealed vessel of perfection-uncracked and uncrackable.”

“The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightning, or win a
Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a small nation in the Pacific Islands, or contract terminal ear cancer,
or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them
will probably happen to each of us. I could have seen it rain frogs. I could have stepped foot on Mars. I
could have been eaten by a whale. I could have married the queen of England or survived months at sea.
But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of
Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.”
