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

"Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds."

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

"Travel far enough, you meet yourself."

"Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw."
