“It’s shocking to wake up in one world and find yourself in another by nightfall, but the situation isn’t actually all that unusual. You wake up married, then your spouse dies over the course of the day. You wake up in peacetime and by noon your country is at war; you wake up in ignorance and by the evening it’s clear that a pandemic is already here.”
― Emily St. John Mandel, Sea of Tranquility

“I feel so alone sometimes, you have no idea. And the loneliness seems to seep into my bones and I get scared because I feel numb. Not depressed or upset: I’m a blank tape.

I felt it all and I’ll never feel anything new again and I’ll always be alone.”
― Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Silver Nitrate

“No star burns forever.”
