Jandy NelsonRemember how it was when we kissed? Armfuls and armfuls of light thrown right at us. A rope dropping down from the sky. How can the word love and the word life even fit in the mouth?
About This Quote
The reason most people come to appreciate the difference between love and life is because it is very hard to love someone you do not know. Someone who does not know you either hates you or loves you. But, most people only see life as a series of events without meaning. The existence of a soul endows life with purpose and value.
It gives life a reason to live, a reason to fight and a reason to die. When someone says “how can the word love and the word life even fit in the mouth?” they are asking, “How can we possibly enjoy something so fleeting?” But, if we take the time to truly appreciate the beauty of love and nature, we can see that these things are simply different parts of the same thing.
