I tried very hard to be a good person today, to do things as God would have wanted, had He existed. Thank you for the gifts of life and Brod, he thought, and thank you, Brod, for giving me a reason to live. I am not sad.

Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

Homer, The Iliad (via itsfromabook)

All these things happen in one second and last for ever.
