"as you come into this world, something else is also born. you begin your life, and it begins a journey towards you. it moves slowly, but it never stops. wherever you go, whatever path you take, it will follow — never faster, never slower, always coming. You will run, it will walk. You will rest, it will not. One day, you will linger in the same place too long — you will sit too still, or sleep too deep. And when, too late, you rise to go, you will notice a second shadow next to yours. your life will then be over."

"there are two events in everybody’s life that nobody remembers. two moments experienced by every living thing, and yet nobody remembers anything about them. nobody remembers being born, and nobody remembers dying."

"nothing's sad till it's over. then everything is."

What in the end, are any of us looking for? We are looking for someone who's looking for us
