" Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. 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 can't 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 20. And yet it all seems limitless." (1949)
Paul Bowles (1910 - 1999)
