In Brandon Lee's Final interview he quoted this from the book Sheltering Sky:
...because we will not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well and yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you cannot even conceive of your life without it. Perhaps four, five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty? And yet it all seems limitless..."
now I've never read the book. It's always been in my "to Read" list but always bumped down for some reason or another. but lately my mind has been meditating on this, lingering on it while I go through my daily dribble of school and work... Maybe it's time to bump this up to the top.
