“It had a very long pendulum, and the pendulum swung with a slow tick-tock that set his teeth on edge, because it was the the kind of delibrate, annoying ticking that wanted to make it abundantly clear that every tick and every tock was stripping another second off your life.”

“Scars are just another kind of memory.”
― M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans

― Aminatta Forna, The Memory of Love
