"We're all made of stories. ... When they finally put us underground, the stories are what will go on. Not forever, perhaps, but for a time. It's a kind of immortality, I suppose, bounded by limits, it's true, but then so's everything."
"Here's a weird thought: What if everyone only has so many words inside of them? Then sooner or later you'd run out of words, wouldn't you? And you'd never know when it was going to happen because everybody would have a different allotment, it would be different for everyone -- the way hair colour varies, or fingerprints. I could be in the middle of a story, and then run out of words, and it'd never be finished. I could be using up the words I need for that story writing this."
