Fearful Symmetries Quotes

“Later—no, sooner than later—I’ll regret not having continued on my way. Sooner than later, I’ll regret having stopped at the black gates, before I stop at the gates. Can the present affect the past, and can the future affect the present? Retrocausality. The impossible only seems impossible until it happens.”
― Ellen Datlow, Fearful Symmetries

“When Olivia tugs at her glossy curls, I think about her hair in my mouth. Paper-dry, tasting of smoke and strawberry shampoo. The strands would break between my teeth. The sound they'd make—a tiny crunch, like a foot falling through snow—that sound would fill me.”
― Siobhan Carroll, Fearful Symmetries
