Floating Staircase QUOTES

1 " It has been said that nature does not know extinction. In effect, it knows only change: nothing ever truly disappears, for there is always something—some part, some particle, some formidable semblance—left behind. You can boil water into vapor, but it hasn’t disappeared. Curiosity killed the cat, but condensation brought it back. "

6 " Quite often fiction is the best reality; cruelties are so much easier to swallow when they’re dressed up and capering about like circus clowns. "
