“Everybody counts, or nobody counts.”

“I haven’t started counting yet. I wonder if it’s just me or if it’s like that for everybody; that every time someone dies you start counting how much time has passed since they’ve been gone. First you count it in minutes, then in hours. You count in days, then weeks, then months. Then one day you realize that you aren’t counting anymore, and you don’t even know when you stopped. That’s the moment they’re gone.”

“Not everything that can be counted counts.Not everything that counts can be counted.”

“Many of the things you can count, don't count. Many of the things you can't count, really count.”

“Once you're out here in the world, nobody cares where you used to live. Who you are, that's what counts.”

“I vote to have my vote voided—which means my vote won’t count even when it counts, and it will count even when it won’t count.”
