Quotes by Grant Ginder (?)

“They were going to lose parts of themselves that they had thought were irreplaceable, only to find that they didn't miss them at all. There was no other option, nothing else to do. Because staying young forever wasn't just impossible - it was exhausting. No one was meant to shoulder that amount of possibility for very long.”
― Grant Ginder, So Old, So Young

“For years and years she had told herself that she was going to be different. But now she saw that what she had really meant was that she was never going to get old, which was funny in retrospect, because getting old was what she had been doing all along.”
― Grant Ginder, So Old, So Young

“A fragile belief that the agony of consciousness was worth the miracle of being alive.”
