“Reminding me how fragile this life is and how easily it can be lost. Compelling me to live and to live well, while I still can.
Because sooner or later, we must all face eternity.”
― Jessica Khoury, Origin

“How many have died that I might live?
And who has died that I might live?”
― Jessica Khoury, Origin

“...there is a somewhere else after this, where everyone drinks elysia and lives forever.”
― Jessica Khoury, Origin

“And we remember that there must be a balance. No birth without death. No life without tears. What is taken from the world must be given back, and from him who takes and does not give back, who would tip the balance of the river, from him all will be taken. No one should live forever, but should give his blood to the river when the time comes so that tomorrow another may live. And so it goes.”
