And now life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future—you go to high school so you can go to college so you can get a good job so you can get a nice house so you can afford to send your kids to college so they can get a good job so they can get a nice house so they can afford to send their kids to college.

But you want to see shapes; you want to see stories, so you pick them out of the sky.

When you stopped wishing things wouldn't fall apart, you'd stop suffering when they did.

Language buries, but does not resurrect.

To be human is to catch the falling person.

Depression is a side effect of dying. (Almost everything is, really).

Books are seldom useful unless they are also beautiful.
