I wanted to--still want to--write you a letter. It would contain half of everything I ever wanted to tell you and couldn't--(didn't?). The half that could be relayed in words.
I'm so sorry. It's so hard to live. So painful. Why do we have to care so much?
There is so much misunderstood sadness in the world, sometimes I feel as though it will smother me: drown me and sweep me away to my own self-sown hell.
"She let out a laugh, and then she put a hand over her mouth, like she was angry at herself for forgetting her sadness."
- Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close -
"I am committed to truth, not consistency."
- Ghandi -
The meaning of enlightenment: to know truly who you are.
"I thought about all of 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 & Incredibly Close -
I have never known the fervour of a fanatic.
