“He’s a stranger, a lover, and my life partner. We have lived and died lifetimes together, and it makes me shiver every time that odd truth comes over me.”
Eliot Schrefer, The Darkness Outside Us

“Intimacy is the only shield against insanity. Intimacy, not knowledge. Intimacy, not power.”
Eliot Schrefer, The Darkness Outside Us

“Plenty of organisms live for a season, in order for those who come next to have a chance, Mayflies, daffodils, the octopus. We can accept that?'
'Well, we're hardwired not to accept our own demise. Daffodils are a lot more chill about it.'
'Okay, but we can be like daffodils together.”
Eliot Schrefer, The Darkness Outside Us
