“Ghosts were just a way that some stupid people dealt with their dull lives.”
“Some words were like that. Whole lives attached to them. Ghosts and lives and ecstasy and sorrow.”
“That was the way most people were - stupid.”
“Some people get dealt all the aces in life.”
“Some people were just getting on with their lives, chatting, being young. It simply wouldn't do.”
“I think in some way it's like that for all of us, living with the ghosts of things that used to be, or never were. We're all of us haunted by yesterday, and we got no choice but to keep marching into our tomorrows.”
