Maybe it's wrong when we remember breakthroughs to our own being as something that occurs in discrete, extraordinary moments. Maybe falling in love, the piercing knowledge that we ourselves will someday die, and the love of snow are in reality not some sudden events; maybe they were always present. Maybe they never completely vanish, either.Anonymous
About This Quote
Throughout life, you will experience many things that are unique. Perhaps one of the most memorable events of your life is falling in love. One of the most memorable experiences of your life would have to be if you were to die. And, what about the snow? It is one of the most beautiful things to see, but it can also cover up all of the beauty around it.
The fall, the piercing knowledge that you will die, and falling in love are all unique moments in time. But they are not sudden events. They are always present deep within our hearts and minds.
