“Tutta la vita è schiacciata dal peso delle parole! Il peso dei morti - Eccomi qua: potete credere sul serio che Enrico IV sia ancora vivo! Eppure, ecco, parlo e comando a voi vivi. Vi voglio così! - Vi sembra una burla anche questa, che seguitano a farla i morti la vita? - Sì, qua è una burla: ma uscite di qua, nel mondo vivo. Spunta il giorno. Il tempo è davanti a voi. Un'alba. Questo giorno che ci sta davanti - voi dite - lo faremo noi! - Sì? Voi? E salutatemi tutte le tradizioni! Salutatemi tutti i costumi! Mettetvi a parlare! Ripetete tutte le parole che si sono sempre dette! Credete di vivere? Rimasticate la vita dei morti!”

“I’m not really here. I am physically, but metaphorically I am not. I just exist sometimes. Occasionally I’m present, but majority of times I’m not. I stand. I hold in place. Periodically I sit. Sometimes you see my eyes drifting. I’m not wondering. I’m wandering. I’m seeking. I’m observing. I’m listening to the wind. I’m grasping the moment. I’m grasping time. I’m feeling this. I’m trying to understand what this is. I’m not here nor there, but elsewhere in between the hologram.”

“She had once read in a book about consciousness that over the years, the human brain makes an AI version of your loved ones. The brain collects data, and within your brain, you host a virtual version of that person. Upon the person's death, your brain still believes the virtual person exists, because, in a sense, the person still does. After a while, through, the memory fades, and each year, you are left with an increasingly diminished version of the AI you had made when the person was alive.”

“If she never had any lovers, she kicks herself around when the change comes, thinking of all the fun she could have had, didn't have, and now can't have. If she had a lot of lovers, she argues herself into believing that she did wrong and she's sorry now. She carries on that way because she knows that soon all her woman-ness will be lost...lost. And if she makes believe being with a man was never any good in the first place, she can get comfort out of her change.”

“It’s quiet for a second and so I start to think. About how people take from each other. They take and take. Our world itself is a great big taking. And life is just giving. We give away everything we have, one day at a time, until we can’t give no more. I guess that’s the price of living.”

“I was a woman strung together with glitter and wishes. A midnight apparition cast in the coldest winters. I would not be here tomorrow. But tonight I would drink champagne until my veins ran in golden, bubbling streams. I would dance until the ice in my heart melted. Kiss until my lips bruised. And I would live until it hurt.”

“Cancer is often associated with death but is also very much about life. It is about the basic principles of biology, the intricate dynamics of living organisms, body and soul, tears and love, culture, politics, and money. Cancer is alive.”

“पर मैं बार-बार उस बात पर वापस आता हूं कि मैं क्या हूं ? और इस दुनिया में मेरी भागीदारी क्या है ? सारे जवाब लगातार बदलते रहते हैं और लगातार एक असहायता घर करती जाती है । यह लड़ाई भीतर कभी ख़त्म नही होती कि हमारी भागीदारी का क्या मतलब है ? और वह कहां तक है ? इन सवालों के प्रति ईमानदारी बनाए रखने में हमारी सारी भागीदारी भी, समस्या की परिधि पर अपना दम तोड़ चुकी होती है ।”

“Mitch reached over and took her hand. "Have a little faith in yourself, Lexi, you'll be just fine." That was the problem. She had been taught to believe that she couldn't do things on her ow, but he was right. She had to stop being so afraid of everything, so willing to depend on other people. It was time she started living her life, not just sitting back and watching the world pass by around her. (Chapter 11)”
