"The bookstore is the building, but it's not only the building.  It is the books inside.  People are not only their bodies.  And if there is no hope of saving the things we love in their original form, we must save them however we can."
-Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley

"I'll tell her that I think he had been transmigrating all his life: leaving himself in the things he loved, in the people he loved.  He brimmed over the edges of his own life, and escaped."
-Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley

"But you know this already, Rachel.

You know that you must hold on to any laws that you can find.

I love my son, and he is the law that cannot be tinkered with.  Love of the things that make you happy is steady too - books, words, music, art - these are lights that reappear in a broken universe."
-Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley

"We are the books we read and things we love.  Cal is the ocean and the letters he left.  Our ghosts hide in the things we leave behind."
-Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley
