“I believe it is worthwhile trying to discover more about the world, even if this only teaches us how little we know.”
― Graham Moore, The Last Days of Night

“...I think we are well-advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were.”
― Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem

“The moment you stop bargaining is the last in which you're ever given a thing.”
― Graham Moore, The Last Days of Night

“One doesn't lie down with a lion and get to act surprised if one finds oneself devoured.”
― Graham Moore, The Last Days of Night
