Doesn't that make life a story?”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“It's funny, isn't it? When you are young you just want to be old, and then later you wish you could go back to being a kid.”

“A room full of words that are nearly the truth but not quite, each note fluttering off the steam of its rose like a broken butterfly wing.”
