Knowledge is a rumor until it lives in the body.

That’s what an angel is. Dust crushed into a diamond by the weight of this world.

I thought I was losing my mind. You’re not. You’re just finding new rooms inside it.

“My life was one hardship after another, and then I met you. Nina saw the whole world. But I saw underneath it. I was pressed down like coal. I suffered. That’s what an angel is. Dust pressed into a diamond by the weight of this world. You crushed me. Before I had the chance to become anything. You crushed me. But you didn’t destroy me. I died and came back to life with something you’ll never have.”

No tree survives alone in the forest.

I couldn’t tell if I was inside the earth or above it. Why was the dark so dazzling?
