"Hope, Paul said to me once, which whispered from Pandora's box only after all the other plagues and sorrows had escaped, is the best and last of all things. Without it, there is only time. And time pushes at our backs like a centrifuge, forcing us outward and away, until it nudges us into oblivion...
Like all things in the universe, we are destined from birth to diverge. Time is simply the yardstick of our separation. If we are particles in a sea of distance, exploded from an original whole, then there is science to our solitude. We are lonely in proportion to our years."
- The Rule of Four, Caldwell & Thomason
somehow, this is the most uplifting and depressing thing i have had to consider in a while.
oh and then Tom and Katie made love to each other for the first time after talking philosophy and without taking all the books off the bed.
"We rolled, one over another, across Saint Thomas More and the pages of his Utopia, into the new positions of our relationship, and the lights were always burning."
and this book is about... books! and the passion for knowledge.
literature is hot.
