Quotes by J.S. Monroe  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“As Jonathan says, delusions are often no more than expressions of our deepest wishes - and of our most profound fears”
J.S. Monroe, The Man on Hackpen Hill

“The brain is a frightening thing, capable of remembering so much of what we want it to forget and forgetting the one thing that we most want it to remember. And then, years later, it chooses to work, operating like an autonomous neural state, summoning a nightmare from beyond the city walls, the badlands of amnesia.”
J.S. Monroe, Forget My Name

“Often all our memory needs is a trigger, a familiar face, for everything to start coming back.”
J.S. Monroe, Forget My Name

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”
Richard Dawkins, Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder
