Most days, I’ve got this impermanence thing down just great. It doesn’t bother me; what’s to bother? Most days, I sit comfortably with the knowledge that I’ll die alone, and I feel nothing so strongly as my embrace of my nothingness. Most days don’t really matter, because there is only this day, and right now I feel like fear is all I am. I don’t want you to leave. Just let me pretend you won’t.' He wrapped his arms around me and we slept. For that night, we would last forever. Agnostic Zetetic
About This Quote

In this quote from "A Thousand Splendid Suns," Khaled Hosseini has written an intense description about the feeling of love. For a long time, you felt helpless and isolated from the world because you were a prisoner of your own emotions. But eventually, a person would understand that there was nothing to fear or to worry about. This quote is a reflection on incompleteness and the feeling of being alone.

This feeling is something people have to endure throughout their lives. The only way to stop this feeling is to accept it as part of life and to be willing to embrace it as such.
