Am I Losing It?
In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens wrote one of the most famous and influential opening lines:
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
As a writer, I can’t imagine a better opening for a story. The book may be a total bore, but after reading the first lines, I want to read it. I don’t know about you but I’m a sucker for beautiful covers and opening lines.

"Nenavadno in odštekano branje. Tretja knjiga Jake Tomca, ki sem jo prebrala, je pustila zanimiv vtis. Čeprav je precej tanka knjižica, je dogajanja ogromno. Niti nisem imela občutka, da kaj manjka oziroma da bi želala vedeti več o dogodkih in opisih."

“We are like chess players who are trying to predict the opponent’s future moves, but in this case, we are dealing with life itself. True masters do not play the game on a single chessboard, but on multiple chessboards at the same time. And what’s the difference between grandmasters and masters? Surprises. The moves that cannot be predicted by the opponent. Life can play a simultaneous game with seven billion people at the same time and it can take each and every one of us by surprise. And we still believe we are capable of winning, because we can predict three of four moves ahead. We are insignificant.”

“Življenje je zmožno odigrati simultanko s sedmimi milijardami ljudmi in presenetiti prav vsakega izmed nas. Mi pa še vedno mislimo, da smo zmožni zmagati, ker lahko predvidimo tri ali štiri poteze. Tako prekleto nepomembni smo.”

“Pri 14 letih sem izdal prvo knjigo, s 16 leti sem bil v LA Timesu proglašen za najbolj obetavnega mladega pisatelja v državi. Preden sem dopolnil 18 let, sem bil odvisen od pomirjeval in večino časa pijan. Življenje pisatelja prinaša določene posledice.”

“Najprej začneš videti več. Potem slišiš več. In nazadnje čutiš več. Veš vse o vsem in vse ti je popolnoma jasno. Vidiš povezanost vsega in jo občutiš. Veš, da si eno z vesoljem.”
