“We are stories, contained within the twenty complicated centimeters behind our eyes...”
― Carlo Rovelli, L'ordine del tempo

“What an astonishment to breathe on this breathing planet. What a blessing to be Earth loving Earth.”

“I do not fear death. I fear suffering. And I fear old age, though less so now that I am witnessing the tranquil and pleasant old age of my father. I am afraid of frailty, and of the absence of love. But death does not alarm me. It did not scare me when I was young, and I thought at the time that this was because it was such a remote prospect. But now, at sixty, the fear has yet to arrive. I love life, but life is also struggle, suffering, pain. I think of death as akin to a well-earned rest.”
― Carlo Rovelli, L'ordine del tempo

“Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly when I am sad and feel you are far away?”
― Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair
