I made it up as I went--I literally didn't know what else was on the ship until the characters stepped foot there.

I remember that when my publisher wanted to design the blueprints for the ship, they asked me what the outside looked like. I told them I had no idea--none of the characters went outside the ship!

“I never thought about how important the sky was until I didn't have one.”
Beth Revis, Across the Universe

“Power isn’t control at all — power is strength, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”
Beth Revis, Across the Universe

“(D)reams are like that: they go in and out of memories and scenes, but they're never real. They're never real, and I hate them because they aren't.”
Beth Revis, Across the Universe

William Nicholson, Shadowlands: A Play

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
Elie Wiesel

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”
douglas adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

“I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind. And this is one: I'm going to tell it - but take care not to smile at any part of it.”
Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
