The Map of Tiny Perfect Things quotes

  • Margaret: We're the ones sleeping. Everyone else is awake, and it's just us dreaming. I know it's going to hurt really bad. But I think that I have to wake up now.

  • Margaret: Are you okay?

    Greta: It's a relative term.

    Margaret: I thought we'd have so much more time.

    Greta: I know. But you will be all right.

    Margaret: I don't know. I don't know if I can do this.

    Greta: Listen to me, because I'm old and I know things. It's true that we're losing time every day, all the time, until one day it's all gone. But you're gaining it, too. Every second, perfect moments, one after the other, until, by the end, you have your whole life. You have everything. And it costs you everything. But it's worth it. I promise that it's worth it.
