Am I Losing It?
In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens wrote one of the most famous and influential opening lines:
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
As a writer, I can’t imagine a better opening for a story. The book may be a total bore, but after reading the first lines, I want to read it. I don’t know about you but I’m a sucker for beautiful covers and opening lines.

Oh man. This book made me feel a lot of different emotions, all at once. One moment I was rooting for Jacob, the other I was yelling into my Kindle, "What are you doing!" If it starts with a punch, it ends with a minor earthquake. I was blown away. I ...more |

“We are like chess players who are trying to predict the opponent’s future moves, but in this case, we are dealing with life itself. True masters do not play the game on a single chessboard, but on multiple chessboards at the same time. And what’s the difference between grandmasters and masters? Surprises. The moves that cannot be predicted by the opponent. Life can play a simultaneous game with seven billion people at the same time and it can take each and every one of us by surprise. And we still believe we are capable of winning, because we can predict three of four moves ahead. We are insignificant.”

“Life takes place on so many different levels it is impossible to imagine them all. There are seven billion people on earth. That’s seven billion different views of the world, seven billion truths, seven billion autonomous thoughts.”

“Življenje je zmožno odigrati simultanko s sedmimi milijardami ljudmi in presenetiti prav vsakega izmed nas. Mi pa še vedno mislimo, da smo zmožni zmagati, ker lahko predvidimo tri ali štiri poteze. Tako prekleto nepomembni smo.”

“Najprej začneš videti več. Potem slišiš več. In nazadnje čutiš več. Veš vse o vsem in vse ti je popolnoma jasno. Vidiš povezanost vsega in jo občutiš. Veš, da si eno z vesoljem.”
