Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them. I don't believe in ghosts, I said, faintly. Some people can't see the color red. That doesn't mean it isn't there, she replied.

You kill people you hate or you kill in rage or you kill to get even, but you don't kill someone you're indifferent to.
