- Villanelle - Killing Eve
People think that your soul or personality, whatever, leaves the body when you die. I swear, it just goes further in. It falls so far in and just becomes so small that it can't control your body anymore. It's just in there, dying forever.
Scott Westerfeld
- Goliath
The ecosystem of the Leviathan, with its hundred interlocking species, was far more complex than any lifeless machine, and thus a bit less orderly. But that was what kept the world interesting, Deryn reckoned; reality had no gears, and you never knew what surprises would come spinning out of its chaos.

- the depth of depth
We as humans have an affinity with deep ideas. You see it here on this website, you see it in films or novels, you see it in your own musing; yet rarely are these speculations practically worthwhile, so what is it for? Maybe it's our way of explaining to ourselves this inexplicable world; or perhaps it's really our way of escaping it, catching our trains of thought all the way to a new reality, one made predictable by our quixotically-generalised formulas. I mean, just reread this quote.

- What is conversation
I've always struggled to understand conversation. Not work meetings or big formal speeches - the common friend-to-friend conversations whose purposes reveal themselves only once silence has taken over. The routine yet fabricated human concept confuses me in both its execution and its objective, and I know it sounds strange to say I wish there was an instruction manual for "How to Talk to People," but I do. Call me over-analytical, call me weird, call me inhuman; but can you explain it?
Karl Lagerfeld
- Accept the present
The minute you think that the past was better, your present is second hand, and yourself becomes vintage - it's okay for clothes but not that great for people.
