“Life is just one long day separated into sections by sleep. Life never stops happening until you are dead. So whatever happens-love, grief, hate, shame- never disappears. It just gets easier to live with. It just scabs over, waiting for something else significant to happen.”

“Loving someone means that you will inevitable grieve for them; love is an engraved invitation for grief.”

“They don't know, Mem thinks, how temporary they really are.”

“You're going to have to make your own fortune. You've been given a lot of challenge. No one is going to help you or save you. You're going to have to do it yourself.”

“All of life is a near-death experience.”

“Men are always lost, they are confused and afraid, thus they are more trouble than they're worth.”

“Love is an engraved invitation to grief.”
