Favorite quotes:
"I'm dead again, somewhere else, and I didn't feel a thing."
"There, there I am. Because that’s what a sister is: a piece of yourself you can finally love, because it’s in someone else."
"What they don't tell you about getting everything you ever wanted is the cold-sweat panic when you think about losing it. For someone who'd never had anything to lose, it's like drowning, all the time."
"I’ve always believed, like all rational people, that my selves are separate. That they—we—exist independently. But sometimes when life is too still, when I lie in bed in the quiet, I can feel it all happening. Not just my selves collapsing, but time collapsing, because past and future are other selves just as surely as those on different worlds. My mother is dying right now, and I feel it. But she also recovered, woke up, got clean, and I feel that too. I feel that somewhere I am not alone. And I feel that sometime, soon or not long ago, I will accomplish something great."
