“Perhaps survival is its own form of torture.”
― Amal El-Mohtar, This Is How You Lose the Time War

“Like your victory, love spreads back through time. It claims our earliest association, our battles and losses. Assassinations become assignations.”
― Amal El-Mohtar, This Is How You Lose the Time War

“There was only one problem with hatred, Gabe thought. And it wasn't that it would eat you up or destroy you. That was bullshit. Hatred could fuel you through the worst of times. Grief, despair, terror. Live and forgiveness might keep you warm, but hatred would power your rocket all the way to the moon.

No, the problem was that, eventually, hatred burned itself out.”
― C.J. Tudor, The Other People

“xxx all souls are equal in heaven.

Only in heaven, I thought. And this is not heaven. This is a place for snakes and ladders, and though I was once high up on a ladder propped up against the Tree of Life, now I've slid down a snake. How gratifying for the others to witness my fall!”
― Margaret Atwood, The Testaments
