the clei crusade

The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. The stars died so that you could be here today.

Strangeness is the indispensable condiment of all beauty.

There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts.

Neil Gaiman

She’s like smoke: you think you’re seeing her clearly enough, but when you reach for her, there’s nothing there.
