Concept art for Cloud Atlas

The healthy can’t understand the emptied, the broken. You’d list all the reasons for living, but I left ‘em behind at Victoria Station back in early summer.
David Mitchell (Cloud Atlas)
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.

“Sloosha’s Crossin’ An’ Ev’rythin’ After,” from the novel Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell [p. 308]
