“Someday I’ll wake up and it’ll be like my life’s already over, because it’ll be dozens of years from now already and I’m still the same. Sets of mirrors facing each other, expanding space and me and every moment I’ve been here. Nobody knows me, because I haven’t left anything for them, and I can’t stand to look half of them in the eye.”
― B.R. Yeager, Negative Space

“Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge, exists without my consent.”
― Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

“Were there darker provinces of night he would have found them.”
― Cormac McCarthy, Child of God

“It's not the best of all worlds," says my shadow. "I make no promises, but it is the world where we belong. There will be good and bad. There will be neither good nor bad. It is where you were born and where you will live and where you will die. And where you die, I too will die. It's the natural course of things.”
― Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World
