Ghost in the Library

“Every one of us is a zoo in our own right – a colony enclosed within a single body. A multi-species collective. An entire world.”
― Ed Yong, I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life

“We do not all blend together. We are not ruined, helpless, a burden. We are not the elderly. We are not old people. Now, still, we're unique. Distinct. Regardless of what we've produced or what happen to our bodies. We each have our own memories and experiences, even if they've been lost and forgotten.

They, we, all of us can finally rest.”
― Iain Reid, We Spread

“The tragedy of life isn't that the end comes. That's the gift. Without an end, there's nothing. There's no meaning. Do you see? A moment isn't a moment. A moment is an eternity. A moment should mean something. It should be everything.”
― Iain Reid, We Spread

“But what would the work mean if it was endless? What would a relationship mean if it kept going forever? What would a day be if it didn’t end?”
― Iain Reid, We Spread
