“To survive, you must tell stories.”
“If it's a story I'm telling, then I have control over the ending...But if it's a story, even in my head, I must be telling it to someone.You don't tell a story only to yourself. There's always someone else. Even when there is no one.”
“From every wound there is a scar, and every scar tells a story. A story that says, "I survived".”
“We do not last, she thinks. In the end, only the stories survive.”
