“Immortality is not merely what happens after your mortal life is over. It is more important than that. Immortality is what happens when love conquers time-when a person’s ability to love others and to act in pure love and goodness stretches beyond death to live forever in the heart of the human race.”
― Brittney Ryan

“Sometimes you go through things that seem huge at the time, like a mysterious glowing cloud devouring your entire community. While they're happening, they feel like the only thing that matters and you can hardly imagine that there's a world out there that might have anything else going on. And then the glow cloud moves on. And you move on. And the event is behind you. And you may find, as time passes, that you remember it less and less. Or absolutely not at all, in my case.”
― Welcome to Night Vale
