“When you die, you’re gone. You no longer look out of your eyes, you no longer think all that pile of ego thoughts that make you who you are and have no true substance. Just like when you sleep. The only difference is that before you sleep you have the thought that you’ll wake up tomorrow and before you die you have the thought that you’ll never wake up. But the same thing happens.”
― Joshua T. Calvert, Contact: Echoes in the Dark: Hard Science Fiction

“Gray and white clouds”
― John Grisham, The Firm
