“Most of us can't help but live as though we've got two lives to live, one is the mockup, the other the finished version, and then there are all those versions in between. But there's only one, and before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now there's sorrow. I don't envy the pain. But I envy you the pain. (p. 225)”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

“We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.”
