“And so we all matter - maybe less than a lot, but always more than none.”

“He found himself thinking that maybe stories don't just make us matter to each other - maybe they're also the only way to the infinite mattering he'd been after for so long.

And so we all matter - maybe less than a lot, but always more than some.”
