Notable Quotes
"We're more than the sum total of our choices, that all the paths we might have taken factor somehow into the math of our identity."
"It's terrifying when you consider that every thought we have, every choice we could possibly make, branches off into a new world."
"No one tells you it's all about to change, to be taken away. There's no proximity alert, no indication that you're standing on the precipice. And maybe that's what makes tragedy so tragic. Not just what happens, but how it happens: a sucker punch that comes at you out of nowhere, when you're least expecting it. No time to flinch or brace."
