Quote

The longer your life goes on, the more death you face.

Monotony collapses time; novelty unfolds it. You can exercise daily and eat healthily and live a long life, while experiencing a short one. If you spend your life sitting in a cubicle and passing papers, one day is bound to blend unmemorably into the next - and disappear.

I often feel that life is about to begin, only to realize it is almost over.

Sometimes it feels like my life is just one long day.

As you get older, time speeds up but life slows down.

I can never be in the same place for too long. It feels like the world is caving in.

At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.

Dying is only one thing to be sad over... Living unhappily is something else.

Everything I do has the tinge of the finite, of my own demise. At some point you either accept death or you just keep pushing it back as you get older and older. I've accepted it.
