“From this outer edge of his life, looking back, there was only one remorse, and that was only that he wished to go on living. Did all dying people feel this way, as if they had never lived? Did life seem that short, indeed, over and done before you took a breath? Did it seem this abrupt and impossible to everyone, or only to himself, here, now, with a few hours left to him for thought and deliberation?”
― Ray Bradbury

“You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget.”
― Cormac McCarthy, The Road

“In a world of monotonous horror
there could be no salvation in wild dreaming.”
― Richard Matheson, I Am Legend
