“One day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second…. Birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it’s night once more.”
I think this quote really encapsulates the fragility and vulnerability of life. By this I mean its duration. As life begins, it begins to end. It’s really important to come back to that and approach life with perspective, brevity holding us to account.
“...things get broken, and sometimes they get repaired, and in most cases, you realize that no matter what gets damaged, life rearranges itself to compensate for your loss, sometimes wonderfully.”

“Dear Jude,” Harold wrote, “thank you for your beautiful (if unnecessary) note. I appreciate everything in it. You’re right; that mug means a lot to me. But you mean more. So please stop torturing yourself. “If I were a different kind of person, I might say that this whole incident is a metaphor for life in general: things get broken, and sometimes they get repaired, and in most cases, you realize that no matter what gets damaged, life rearranges itself to compensate for your loss, sometimes wonderfully. “Actually—maybe I am that kind of person after all. “Love, Harold.”
