“Mankind finds futility very hard to stomach. People find all sorts of things to give their brief lives meaning. Religion, football, astrology, social media. Valiant efforts all, but everyone knows, deep, deep down, that life is both a random occurrence and a losing battle. None of us will be remembered. These days will all be covered, in time, by the sands.”
― Richard Osman, The Last Devil to Die

“I didn’t know it was possible to love so fully and hurt so deeply at exactly the same time.”
― Paige Toon, Only Love Can Hurt Like This

“We think time travels forward, marches on in a straight line, and so we alongside it to keep up. Hurry, hurry, mustn't fall behind. But it doesn't, you see. Time just swirls around us. Every thing is always present. The things we've done, the people we've loved, the people we've hurt, they're all still here?”
― Richard Osman, The Last Devil to Die

“Is it such an awful thing to want retribution against people who have wronged you?”
― Freida McFadden, The Tenant
