“A memory, once it’s over, is never exactly what it was when it was happening. Whatever comes later changes the meaning of it.”
― Hayley Gelfuso, The Book of Lost Hours

“The place where consciousness drifts when bodies die. It exists in the space between the fabric of tangible things, one moment to the next. Here, all things that happened on Earth linger in the form of memories.”
― Hayley Gelfuso, The Book of Lost Hours

“Time is the axis on which the world spins. Humans count their lives in months and weeks, as if calculating the cumulative measure of their existence will somehow earn them more of it. Accidents occur in three clicks of the second hand. Hearts stop in a moment of time. But there are things that happen in the space between seconds. Worlds are built. Planets burn. Souls fade into the space between one instant and the next and memories fall to depths, lost to the silence and flames.”
― Hayley Gelfuso, The Book of Lost Hours

“Don’t worry, Bartholomew,” the gargoyle called. “If you accidentally kill her, I will not be upset.”
