“There's no original evil left in the world. Everyone's just recycling pain. (257)”

“The bad things don't seem to happen to bad people.'That's because they already did. There's no original evil left in the world.”

“I still think that maybe the "afterlife" is just something we made up to ease the pain of loss, to make our time in the labyrinth bearable. Maybe we are just matter, and matter gets recycled”

“There's only one great evil in the world today. Despair.”

“There's a whole lot of evil in the world looks pretty on the outside.”

“Imagine that the world is made out of love. Now imagine that it isn’t. Imagine a story where everything goes wrong, where everyone has their back against the wall, where everyone is in pain and acting selfishly because if they don’t, they’ll die. Imagine a story, not of good against evil, but of need against need against need, where everyone is at cross-purposes and everyone is to blame.”
