    Paulo Coelho
    “Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them.
    They move on. They move away.
    The moments that used to define them are covered by
    moments of their own accomplishments.

    It is not until much later, that
    children understand;
    their stories and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories
    of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones,
    beneath the water of their lives.”
    ― Paul Coelho

    “The thing we know is that humanity has a hundred per cent mortality rate. We all die. But the facts don’t matter – we can’t bear to lose the people we love, and it doesn’t quite register about the billions who die, or even about our own coming deaths. We don’t experience our own death the way we experience the deaths of those we love.”
