The Summer of Impossible Things

by Rowan Coleman

I like being wrong; being wrong always leads to something more interesting than being right.

And the most wonderful discoveries that have ever been made by mankind always happen when someone decides to believe in the impossible.

‘Just injecting a spot of levity.’

‘You see, our physical bodies, they break down, eventually returning to dust, but energy, energy is never destroyed. And what is love, if it isn’t the most powerful energy we know of?’

‘We all have our time machines, don’t we? Those that take us back are memories … And those that carry us forward are dreams.’ —H.G. Wells

‘sometimes in this life you think you’re going to break, you’re certain of it, you think there is no other possible outcome. And yet somehow you don’t. You just remember that.’

Love outlasts even death. It’s present in every moment, even those filled with darkness; it’s never exhausted, it never gives up or waivers. It’s the one force of the universe that will never be captured by an equation or your science. Have faith in love, and let it guide you, and you never know. Impossible things happen all the time.’
