“I thought about all the things that everyone ever says to each other, and how everyone is going to die, whether it’s in a millisecond, or days, or months, or 76.5 years, if you were just born. Everything that’s born has to die, which means our lives are like skyscrapers. The smoke rises at different speeds, but they’re all on fire, and we’re all trapped.”
—Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (via aepocrypha)
“In life, we get lost even if our eyes are wide open.”
