When you get old, you can’t talk to people because they snap at you. That’s why you become deaf, so you won’t be able to hear people talking to you that way. That’s why old people die, eventually. People talk to them that way.
Sometimes it’s necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.
That's the happiest moment. When it's all done. When we stop. When we can stop.
We must put away our tears, take off our mourning...and face the future.
Knowing it—knowing it’s true is one thing, but believing what you know … well, there’s the tough part. We all prepare for jolts along the way, disturbances of the peace, the lies, the evasions, the infidelities—if they happen.
