Quote by Lancali

“Everyone dies and everything ends. Sometimes endings are abrupt. They hit you in the face and it's too soon and it's unfair, but that doesn't matter. The last page doesn't define the book. Time will cease, disease will fester, death will die. So get over yourself. Get over this fear you have of existing and stop walking behind us. Your not just our narrator, you're a part of our story.”

“The tempo of modern life, the extension of the reading habit to classes of society whose time for leisure is more restricted or whose education has not trained them to concentrate on reading of an imaginative kind in too large quantities, education, the distraction of other competing interests, and the opportunities offered in the use or abuse of leisure — these are but a few of the intangibles in the complex of literary influences.”

“In truth, Qasim was angry at his own people for surrendering so readily to their fate, and he hated them more than he hated the Sayyadin, even with all their tyranny. The people thought of nothing except satisfying their lusts, and they busied themselves with the search for food and drink, never once thinking about their lot in life and changing this terrible world they endured. That’s what made him so angry. Sometimes, he’d ask himself: What drove them to stay alive, breeding and swarming like swamp flies? What strange force made them continue this accursed existence? He never found an answer, but he went on asking as he fumed on the inside, every once in a while letting out angry gusts from his chest.”

“The fables spoke of a great war between the world’s children: conflicts over energy resources that led people to use their most advanced—and most deadly—weapons, until country after country collapsed and millions upon millions perished, leaving only a few struggling to survive in this harsh new environment. Malaz was the first city established in Egypt after civilization collapsed in the wake of the Great War. Its residents named it Malaz, or “Haven,” believing it to be the last refuge of humanity. Meanwhile, the ever-hopeful called it Madinat Al-Baath, or “City of Resurrection.”
