Why We Broke Up
Here are Crake and Oryx, what’s left of them. They’ve been vulturiized, they’re scattered here and there, small and large bones mingled and in disarray, like a giant jigsaw puzzle.
Here’s Snowman, thick as a brick, dunderhead, frivol and dupe, water running down his face, giant fist clenching his heart, staring down as his one true love and his best friend in all the world

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
definitely one of the most powerful, heart wrenching sections in the book; one of those quotes that takes hold of my heart and makes me feel snowman’s broken heart like it’s my own
