“I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one. . . . Humans are caught—in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too—in a net of good and evil. . . . There is no other story. A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well—or ill?”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“And so it goes...”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“You don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened.”
― John Green, An Abundance of Katherines
