amid the noise and haste
stop living in the shadow of a helicopter. | i want to go to there. | what do we say to the god of death? not today. | allons-y! | suddenly i'm mr. sex. | put that in your pipe and smoke it! | tonight's the night. | she's fabulous, but she's evil. | that's all i have to say about that. |

"Don’t tell me nature isn’t a miracle. Don’t tell me the world isn’t a fairytale. Anyone who hasn’t realised that, may never understand until the fairytale is just about to end. Then there is one final chance to tear off the blinkers, a last chance to rub your eyes in amazement, a final opportunity to abandon yourself to the world you are bidding farewell to and leaving."
Jostein Gaarder, Norwegian intellectual and writer, The Orange Girl, Orion Publishing, 2004. (via amiquote)
"Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?"
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
