“I hope the snow covers everything so all the footsteps are silenced, and the whole city can be at peace. ”

“I never knew until then that snow made everything quiet, somehow silencing all the world's noise.”

“Everything dies eventually. We all know that. People, cities, whole civilizations. Nothing lasts. So if existence was just binary, dead or alive, here or not here, what would be the fucking point in anything? My mom used to say that's why we have memory. And the opposite of memory - hope. So things that are gone can still matter. So we can build off our pasts and make futures.”

“Cold and silence. Nothing quieter than snow. The sky screams to deliver it, a hundred banshees flying on the edge ofthe blizzard. But once the snow covers the ground, it hushes as still as my heart.”

“Silence is peace, silence is quiet, silence is calming, silence is what you can be.”

“The memory of tonight was as unblemished as new-fallen snow that I had to protect from careless footsteps.”
