There's this wonderful

Quote from the book sheltering sky

It says

Because we do not know when we will die

We get to think of life as an inexhaustible world

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

Being that you can't even conceive

Of your life without it perhaps

Four or five times more

Perhaps not even that

How many more times will you watch the full moon rise

Perhaps

And yet it all seems limitless

No
