Whether this is the most important thing the diagrams fail to mention is a matter of opinion.”
― Yoon Ha Lee, Conservation of Shadows

“I don’t know how to live.” “But you do,” she said. “It’s all about the distinguishing moments. It’s about going from one to the next, no matter how small the interval of time, or how long.”
