Quote by Clare Urbanski

“You must believe me that trying to bring back the dead is not worth the trouble. In any sense. And it’s not right, either—the dead don’t like to be disturbed. It’s like trying to wake someone from a wonderful dream and bring them back to an unpleasant, imperfect reality. For most of them, at any rate, but the flip side presents another score of problems.”

This is one of those times when people crowd in, nothing anyone says is the least comfort, but no one has the sense to know to shut up.”
