“We spend our entire lives trying to tell stories about ourselves—they’re the essence of memory. It is how we make living in this unfeeling, accidental universe tolerable.”

To be degraded, slaughtered - is this the essential of humankind, one which history has confirmed as inevitable?”

“After you died I could not hold a funeral,
And so my life became a funeral.”
