“There’s always going to be one more thing. Because that’s what infinite feels like. And the difference between love and everything else is that it’s infinite, it’s built out of something infinite, or it feels like it is, anyway, which is the same thing to us.”

“Being young was her thing, and she was the best at it. But every year, more and more girls came out of nowhere and tried to steal her thing.

”
― B.J. Novak, One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories
