A half-read book is a half-finished love affair. - David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

"The better organized the state, the duller its humanity."

"Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future."

"A half-read book is a half-finished love affair."

"Faith, the least exclusive club on Earth, has the craftiest doorman. Every time I've stepped through its wide-open doorway, I find myself stepping out on the street again."

"I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there."
