“The second thing I thought was that I knew everything. Lettie Hempstock's ocean flowed inside me, and it filled the entire universe, from Egg to Rose. I knew that. I knew what Egg was - where the universe began, to the sound of the uncreated voices singing in the void-and I knew where the Rose was -the peculiar crinkling of space on space into dimensions that fold like origami and blossom like strange orchids, and which would mark the last good time before the eventual end of everything and the next Big Bang, which would be, I knew now, nothing of the kind.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“Eager vehemence of desire for life.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, Tales of Mystery and Imagination

“They are still looking for me. They rage for me. They mourn for me. They call for me. They are my remnants.”
― Asuka Katsura, Le Portrait de Petite Cossette 2

“Telling someone with OCD to stop obsessing about something is like telling someone who's having an asthma attack to just breathe normally.”
