“The poems are all wrong. It's a bang, a really big bang. Not a whimper. And sometimes gold can stay.”

“What we had went so much deeper than a kiss. When we were together, she turned me completely inside out. It didn't matter if we were dead or alive. We could never be kept apart. There were some things more powerful than worlds or universes. She was my world, as much as I was hers. What we had, we knew. The poems are all wrong. It's a bang, a really big bang. Not a whimper. And sometimes gold can stay. Anybody who's ever been in love can tell you that.”

“Despite its name, the big bang theory is not really a theory of a bang at all. It is really only a theory of the aftermath of a bang.”

“It's better to go out with a bang and a press release than with a whimper and a secret.”

“This is the way the world endsNot with a bang but a whimper.”

“This was how the world ended. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.”
