“There is no more disastrous mania, no more dangerous whim, than the speculation over roads not taken.”
― The Sound of Things Falling
― The Sound of Things Falling
“Adulthood brings with it the pernicious illusion of control, and perhaps even depends on it. I mean that mirage of dominion over our own life that allows us to feel like adults, for we associate maturity with autonomy, the sovereign right to determine what is going to happen to us next. Disillusion comes sooner or later, but it always comes, it doesn’t miss an appointment, it never has.”
― The Sound of Things Falling

“Experience, or what we call experience, is not the inventory of our pains, but rather the learned sympathy towards the pain of others.”
