"It's fate. It's magic. It's life, in all of its wonderful tragedy, in all of its horrible comedy. It's better than a book or a movie, because it's real. For the most part, books and movies only try to show one aspect of life, as if life was always horrible, or life was always a comedy. Life is everything, funny, and terrifying, and ever-changing. And when the doors start opening, that means that changes are coming. Good or bad, I don't know, but they're coming and even sitting around and refusing to move won't stop them." --from the novel
