"The dead don't bother haunting graveyards- they are the last place on earth they need to haunt. The living do that job for them with their messy combination of grief, desire, imagination. There is nothing in this cemetery. It's just an empty field."

-Louise Doughty, Platform Seven

"It's a deal we all make, I remember thinking. What kind of life will I live with this person? All relationships are a balancing act, after all, each individual perched on either side of a seesaw. Your husband snores. Your wife leaves wet towels on the floor. But he brings you tea every morning. She's a terrific cook. All unions, all associations, every partnership- they all have their benefits and their drawbacks, their subscription fees."

-Louise Doughty, Platform Seven
