From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they're nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere.

With children, you're on your own. Do you understand?”
― Tea Obreht

Keista, bet šiais laikais suvokti savo laikinumą ir baigtinumą yra didesnis maištas nei troškimas suardyti amžiną pasaulio tvarką ir būti nemirtingam.”
