Marisha Pessl said this quote

“ It was true. After our divorce, I'd ended up in a slight relationship with my last research assistant, Aurelia Feinstein, age 34-though let me state for the record it was not as hot as it sounded.

It was dead silent, no one gave me any dierection, and nothing was where it was supposed to be. ”

Then, you could compose your own iRequiem for your own iFuneral attended by millions of your iFriends who iLoved you.
