“That's how you get deathless, volchitsa. Walk the same tale over and over, until you wear a groove in the world, until even if you vanished, the tale would keep turning, keep playing, like a phonograph, and you'd have to get up again, even with a bullet through your eye, to play your part and say your lines.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, Deathless

“Of all life's pleasures, only love owes no debt to death.”
― Anita Diamant, The Red Tent

“The worst thing in the world can happen, but the next day the sun will come up. And you will eat your toast. And you will drink your tea.”
― Rhian Ellis, After Life
