• Even if it means oblivion, friends, I'll welcome it, because it won't be nothing. We'll be alive again in a thousand blades of grass, and a million leaves; we'll be falling in the raindrops and blowing in the fresh breeze; we'll be glittering in the dew under the stars and the moon out there in the physical world, which is our true home and always was.

• Selden and Lily stood still, accepting the unreality of the scene as a part of their own dream-like sensations.

It is now your turn to reap.
