“Warlock: Four thousand and fifty-three metric tons of inert rock, metal and organic matter, frozen solid.

Quasar: Frozen in what?

Drax: Time.

Quasar: "Time", Drax?

Drax: Uh-huh. Old, old frozen time.

Quasar: Right. And that tastes like what?

Drax: Regret.”
― Dan Abnett, Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 1: Legacy

“It wasn’t you, it wasn’t me,
Up there, two thousand feet above
A New York street. We’re safe and free,
A little while, to live and love,

Imagining what might have been –
The phone-call from the blazing tower,
A last farewell on the machine,
While someone sleeps another hour,

Or worse, perhaps, to say goodbye
And listen to each other’s pain,
Send helpless love across the sky,
Knowing we’ll never meet again,

Or jump together, hand in hand,
To certain death. Spared all of this
For now, how well I understand
That love is all, is all there is.”
― Wendy Cope

“Beauty: it curves, curves are beauty. Shapely goddesses, Venus, Juno: curves the world admires.”
― James Joyce, Ulysses

“I don’t think He bargains.”
“Oh yes He does. I may not be religious but I know my Bible. My mother saw to that. He bargains all right. But He’s supposed to he just. If He wants belief He’d better provide some evidence.’
“That He exists?”
“That He cares.”
― P.D. James, The Children of Men
