If Iโd chosen never to the foot inside the great fairytale, Iโd never have known what Iโve lost. Do you see what Iโm getting at? Sometimes itโs worse for us human beings to lose something dear to us than never to have had it at all.
Jostein GaarderDear Hilde, if the human brain was simple enough for us to understand, we would still be so stupid that we couldn't understand it. Love, Dad.
Jostein GaarderI sat thinking how terribly sad it was that people are made in such a way that they get used to something as incredible as living. One day we suddenly take the fact that we exist for granted - and then, yes, then we donโt think about it anymore until we are about to leave the world again.
