“It’s not the good that die young, it’s the lucky.”

“In my day we let the wolfswans incapable of birthing our young die. (Markus)Then it’s a good thing we’re in the twenty-first century and not the Dark Ages, isn’t it? (Fang)”

“It’s really difficult to talk about dead people, but it’s even harder to talk about dead young women. It’s because from the time they die, they’ll be young forever. On the other hand, for us, the survivors, every year, every month, every day, we get older.Sometimes, I feel like I can feel myself aging from one hour to the next. It’s a terrible thing, but that’s reality.”

“A man’s destiny is not in the eyes of others. It’s in his own. And that, my young friend, is as good as any bank note.”

“When a person you love dies, it doesn’t feel real. It’s like it’s happening to someone else. It’s someone else’s life. I’ve never been good with the abstract. What does it mean when someone is really truly gone?”

“And when I don’t feel it, it’s pointless.Think about getting up it’s pointless.Think about eating it’s pointless.Think about dressing it’s pointless.Think about speaking it’s pointless.Think about dying only it’s totallyfucking pointless.”
