“If the living are haunted by the dead, then the dead are haunted by their own mistakes.”

“We're all of us haunted and haunting.”

“You're always haunted by the idea you're wasting your life.”

“Something or someone lived or died so you could have this life.The mountain of the dead. They left you into the daylight.”

“Trust me, the being-dead part is much easier than the dying part. If you can watch much television, then being dead will be a cinch. Actually, watching television and surfing the Internet are really excellent practice for being dead.”

“Her haunting me. The way a song stays in your head. The way you think life should be. How anything holds yourattention. How your past goes with you into every day of your future.”

“Jump to the day we'll all be dead and none of this will matter. Jump to the day another house will stand here and the people living there won't know we ever happened.”
