“I think I am an imposter. Twenty-seven years ago I was a baby. Before that I was a clump of cells. Before that I didn't exist. How could I be a bookstore clerk, or a Catholic, or a woman, or a person at all? I'm a life force contained in the deformed body of a baby. Of course I'm a fraud. The fact that I'm able to carry myself through life without being crushed beneath the psychological weight of being alive proves that I'm a con artist.”
― Emily Austin, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead

“I've been thinking a great deal about time and motion lately, about being a still point in the ceaseless rush.”
― Emily St. John Mandel, Sea of Tranquility

“Lady Ramkin's bosom rose and fell like an empire.”
― Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!

“I wonder how often I occupy spaces that were recently inhabited by dead people. I wonder who will occupy the spaces
I've inhabited, after I'm dead.”
― Emily Austin, Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead
