Quote by Nick Lake

“There are things that, when they break, they keep on functioning, just in some other, lesser way. Like an elevator: it breaks, and it's a room. An escalator: it breaks, and it's stairs The heart is the same. It breaks, and you might not even notice, because you still feel things, you still have emotions.”
