“In that moment Ned felt a swelling, a ripping expansion, a hugeness that rang through him for the length of his life, a feeling that was sometimes rivalled but never quite matched. Not at weddings, not at births, not at funerals. Not when he worked his way north to Longreach, where he finally saw Toby again, finding him cocky, funny and largely unchanged. Not during good seasons or bad. Not when he was alone on cold waterways, not when he was in the grip of people he loved. Not as he poured dirt into graves, not as he watched his children, then his grandchildren, play. Not on the white sands of hidden beaches. Not in the shade of ancient trees, in whose canopies he imagined he could see the darting of cream-brown quolls. Not on rocky mountain roofs. Not in the presence of whales, not while viewing fine ships. Not at the scent of Huon pine. Not as Callie's last breath eased out of her, in their house overlooking kanamaluka, the eastern sun warming her face right up to the final moments of her life. Not at his ninetieth birthday, surrounded by his family and what was left of his friends, as he felt both powerfully loved and profoundly alone.
Not even then, at the very end of his life, did he feel it again, although he always remembered it: this hugeness of feeling. This undamming of a whole summer's fear, this half-sickening lurch to joy. (pp.225-6)”

“Quando você fica muito tempo num lugar, esquece como o mundo é grande e vasto. Não tem noção da extensão de suas longitudes e latitudes. Assim como, supôs ela, é difícil ter noção da vastidão dentro de qualquer pessoa.
Mas, assim que você sente essa vastidão, assim que algo a revela, a esperança surge, quer você queira ou não, e se agarra a você tão teimosamente quanto um líquen se agarra a uma rocha,”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“Mas talvez fosse isso o que todas as vidas eram. Talvez até as que parecem valer a pena ou ser perfeitamente intensas fossem iguais, no fim das contas. Hectares de decepção, monotonia, mágoas e rivalidades, mas com flashes de encanto e beleza. Talvez aquele fosse o único significado que importava. Ser o mundo, testemunhando a si mesmo. Talvez não tenha sido a falta de conquistas que tenha tornado os pais dela infelizes, mas sim a expectativa da conquista,, para começo de conversa. Na verdade, ela não tinha a menor ideia de nada disso. Mas, naquele navio, ela se de conta de uma coisa. Ela havia amado os pais mais do que imaginara, e, ali mesmo, ela os perdoou completamente.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

And all you have are your memories. Those beautiful droplets of color you’ve managed to steal from the rainbow. And you go back to them over and over and over, like a Catholic praying the rosary. You dig in deep, sifting through decades, years, seasons, weeks, hours, and seconds of your life, trying to figure out what it all meant. I wanted to come back to you. I wanted to see you in color, to grasp my own little rainbow.”
― Moses Yuriyvich Mikheyev, Vanishing Bodies: An Epic Science Fiction Romance

“Build me up like a tower on the heights of your sanctuary,
And set me like a seal upon your heart.
Make me drunk with the blood of the foe on the day of war
And satisfy me with his flesh on the night of redemption.
Place the cup of salvation upon my right hand
That my tongue may give voice in joy to a song of love.
For nearly a thousand years I have declared my sorrow
With many tears and with fasting,—will You not answer me?”
― Samuel ha-
