"Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit."

Today is cruel, tomorrow is crueler, and the day after tomorrow is beautiful. But most people will die tomorrow night.
