“Death was an inverse Big Bang; an impossible magic trick where everything had become nothing in the very same instant, where one state had been replaced so completely by another that no evidence of the first could be detected, and where the catalyst had been vaporized by the sheer shock of the new.”

“We shared the same faith, which was big because she was worried about getting matched with an Internet-spawned psychopathic killing machine.
