Scrivener's Moon Quotes

“We must find you a new boyfriend, Wavey had kept telling her, but what if a girlfriend was what Fever needed? She felt as if she had opened the door to a room she had never noticed in a house where she'd lived all her life.”
― Philip Reeve, Scrivener's Moon

“You know, here in the north we believe that there is no such thing as time. It is an illusion. While we live we must accept it, but when we die our souls will be freed from time and we will be able to see it all as one huge pattern of unchanging moments: the past, the present, the future, all one. Your mother’s life was made of many moments, and her death was only one of them. In the World Without Time, her soul is young again.”
― Philip Reeve, Scrivener's Moon
