"My name is Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered."

"Heaven is comfort, but it's still not living."

"You save yourself or you remain unsaved."

"Life is a perpetual yesterday for us."

"These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections-sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent-that happened after I was gone. And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it. The events that my death wrought were merely the bones of a body that would become whole at some unpredictable time in the future. The price of what I came to see as this miraculous body had been my life."
