“They had ridden past the end of the world; somehow that changed everything.”

“Somehow, bad news, however ridden with static, however filled with echoes, always manages to be conveyed.”

“We are only moments away from the past. But it only takes a moment for everything to change, for the world to wobble on its axis and make the familiar strange.”

“The world won’t end with a bang.The world won’t end with a whimper.In fact, the world won’t end at all.But it will change and if we refuse to change with it…It will be us that ends.”

“Well, everything comes to an end, sooner or later," she said. "Everything begins and ends. Everything changes.”

“Past and future are the same, and we cannot change either, only know them more fully. My journey to the past had changed nothing, but what I had learned had changed everything, and I understood that it could not have been otherwise. If our lives are tales that Allah tells, then we are the audience as well as the players, and it is by living these tales that we receive their lessons.”
