Movie quotes

  • (..) Flannery O'Connor. And Cheryl Strayed. The ashes of a body aren't really like ashes from a fire. Soft and silky, they're more like... pale pebbles mixed with a gritty gray gravel. I spread most of them around her grave. But some of the larger chunks... I put in my mouth... and I swallowed whole. (..)
