“She couldn't get any further at that point. The sky full of stars seemed dead and cold, everything in it the result of the mechanical, indifferent interactions of molecules and particles that would continue for the rest of time whether Lyra lived or died, whether human beings were conscious or unconscious: a vast silent empty indifference, all quite meaningless.

“All I have is this pale image of a clouded dream that could never be real, and I can’t seem to move on.

She was special, she was different, and different is hard to find.”
― Marilyn Velez

“Ghosts are the manifestation of the longing of loss.”
