“Jot and Johanna were dancing; they were young, and their hearts were full of innocence and wonder. They were no more than children, but they were in love, with life, and with the world, and with each other. They saw only their own bright youth; they could not look ahead to age or death. Now, for them, the summer would never end; they did not even look ahead to fall. I envied them; and at the same time, I felt sorry for them because they would never again be so young, so happy, and so beautiful.”
― Robert Nathan, Long After Summer

“One day, however, it hit me that I was pushing thirty. What I thought of as my youth was coming to a close. I remember how weird that feeling was. “So this is how it is,” I thought. “Time just slips away.”
― Haruki Murakami, Novelist as a Vocation
