the well written - david mitchell

Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size
don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul.  Who can say where the
cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the
west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

When you show someone something you’ve written, you also give them a sharpened
stake, lie down in a coffin, and say, “When you’re ready."
