“Could he daily feel a stab of hunger for her, and find nourishment in the very sight of her? I think so. But would she see through the bars of his plight and ache for him?”

Jake: Can we skip the small talk?

Jake: You know, like, who are you?

I just have this theory that when you first meet somebody, that’s the time when you have to be totally honest, because you have nothing to lose.
Five, ten years down the road, it gets a lot harder.
You can’t just wake up one day and say, “Happy anniversary, dear, this is the real me.” Doesn’t work that way.
You know what I’m talking about?
How I wish this were the case. Just flat out honestly, in order to weed out all of the bullshit and wasting of time to realize that person isn’t the one … <3 *le sigh*

“Marla’s philosophy on life was that she might die at any moment. The tragedy she said, is that she didn’t”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
“Because we don’t 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 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 twenty. And yet it all seems limitless…”
The Sheltering Sky - Paul Bowles
Brandon Lee actually quoted this in his final interview. It is now inscribed on his tombstone.
