Quote by Joe Hill

“Shhh." said Vic's mother, dead for two months. "Just breathe, Vicki. Just breathe for me". She said it in a light Indian accent, but Vic recognized her mother's voice all the same. Recognized the feel of her mother's hand on her back. Everyone you lost was still there with you, and so maybe no one was ever lost at all.”

“Everything that sounds that good is too good to be true,” Moti answered. “And even if it weren’t, nothing here lasts. Not cities. Not empires. Not moons.” He inhaled slowly, painfully. “I already brought you back,” he continued. “Almost every night. In ink. In memory. In the way I still argue with you when I can’t sleep. That’s enough. It hurts. But it’s real.” Shuki stepped closer still. “You’d choose pain?” “Yes.” The word came without hesitation. “If I lose the pain,” Moti said, “I lose what it meant to love you. To love them. I’d be something else. Some hollow thing getting used to losing the same people twice.”

“Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.”
