“This person mourns the fact that she has ruined her one chance to be loved by everyone; as this person climbs into bed, the weight of this tragedy seems to bear down upon this person’s chest. And it is a comforting weight, almost human in heft. This person sighs. This person’s eyes begin to close, this person sleeps.”
“People fall in love with the person, not the person’s sex.”
“Alone, he must bear the weight of a sin he dare not confess to the one person he loves…and has lost.”
“There is a constant amount of weight in the world. If one person loses weight, another must gain it. If somebody dies, an appropriate number of babies are born. Do not stand too close to a person who is losing weight. That fat is just looming, looking for a person to inhabit.”
“...what has the weight of evidence to one person does not necessarily have the weight of evidence to another.”
“To take another person’s life for personal gain is the most selfish act imaginable. Especially when that other person is your clone.”
