“the lonliest sound in the world is other people making love.”

“People wanted the world to be a story, because stories had to sound right and they had to make sense. People wanted the world to make sense.”

“What else is there to do in this world but love other people?”

“There are many people in this world who think that it is wrong for two women to be in love, and also wrong for two men. But even though lots of people disapprove and the Church says it’s a sin, I can’t see why a God of love would say it was wrong for two people to love each other – it just doesn’t make any sense.”

“The sound of the waves was more soothing than any other sound in the world, save maybe the rain.”

“Sometimes you catch something specific like the screams and cries of people trying to hold on to each other before they're swallowed into other, bigger noises.This is what it sound like when the world ends.”
