Daniel Mendelsohn
“To be alive today is to have a story to tell. To be alive is precisely to be the hero, the center of a life story. When you can be nothing more than a minor character in somebody else's tale, it means that you are truly dead.”
Daniel Mendelsohn, The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million
