About This Quote

The sentence above is a great example of how we can be so lost in the moment that we forget we are human and we begin to think with the stars. The narrator is in the moment, noticing the woman’s teeth, but he is also thinking with them, too. He is seeing with her eyes, feeling with her mind and recognizing the stars when she laughs. This sentence also highlights how we can become lost in our own thoughts and lose sight of the people around us. It is very easy for people to become overwhelmed by their own thoughts and lose sight of others and this can happen easily in everyday life.
