The Resistance
Quotes from the Book
Love is not about saying this is where I belong. It's about being completely, hopelessly, profoundly unable to belong anywhere else.
People who pursue money are those with nothing better to pursue.
The worst our enemies can ever do is to turn us into them.
Science is a wonderful discipline -the best perhaps- but it does rather get in the way of new ideas, what with its incessant belief that everything it already knows is correct.
But it's far more interesting to know one thing about everything, than to know everything about one thing.
Like walking against the wind. When you begin to do something
We are what we do, it seems.
We are in love. Yet I’m not celebrating. Right now, perhaps we do love each other equally. But something in our respective tones gives away the truth: I love her a little more each time I think of her; she loves me a little less.
Change, Alex, comes about from a commitment to making a difference. To deviating from the path of history.
Love isn't the ability to wake up next to someone every day. It is the unbearableness of not waking up next to that person, every single day.

About the book
It’s 1995, and Alex Dean has it all: a spot at Cambridge University next year, the love of an amazing woman named Holly and all the time in the world ahead of him. That is until a brutal encounter with a ghost from his past sees him beaten, battered and almost drowning in the Thames.
He wakes the next day to find he’s in a messy, derelict room he’s never seen before, in grimy clothes he doesn’t recognize, with no idea of how he got there. A glimpse in the mirror tells him he’s older—much older—and has been living a hard life, his features ravaged by time and poor decisions. He snatches a newspaper and finds it’s 2010—fifteen years since the fight.
After finally drifting off to sleep, Alex wakes the following morning to find it’s now 2019, another nine years later. But the next day, it’s 1999. Never knowing which day is coming, he begins to piece together what happens in his life af
