Dead Weight Quotes

“I pour the tea.”
― Hildur Knútsdóttir, Dead Weight

“I have thought long and hard about how I would dispose of a dead body. I have carefully weighed options such as digging, sinking, burning, hiding. It's something I do when I can't sleep. I used to think that everyone did this, that each person I met had a plan of their own. But the day I casually mentioned mine during lunch at work, a weird and uncomfortable silence settled over the table. So it turns out that most people listen to audio books when they can't sleep. It's only me who hides bodies. I find it relaxing.”

“I have also thought about the ninth planet. When she passed by in her giant orbit and shattered life on Earth in a shower of glowing meteors.
I’ve also been reading. And one of the things I’ve learned is that if the dinosaurs hadn’t died, the mammals would never have had the opportunity to develop the way they did.
If the dinosaurs had not died, there would be no bears, no whales, no elephants, no monkeys, no wolves, no lions. There would be no domestic cats. No people. No Io, no Gestur, no Unnur, no Ásta.
Planet Nine destroyed the earth, but life went on. Sometimes it’s good to let go of the dead weight holding us back, break everything, and start over.”
