"The bastard actually smiles. 'Alas, it's forgive them that trespass against us;' temptation comes after trespasses; and you forgot the 'deliver us from evil' bit. Ironically."
"The clock's really tall...it has no hands. It's got words instead, on its old, pale-as-bone clock face, saying TIME IS and under that TIME WAS and under that TIME IS NOT."
"My soul is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
Oh my days, this book is so delightful and so bonkers. It's equal parts heartbreaking and heartwarming; and it's absolutely hysterical. I read it in one night because I couldn't put it down.
