“Stars are important,“ I say, laughing.
"Sure, but why not more poems about the sun? The sun is also a star, and it’s our most important one. That alone should be worth a poem or two.”
― Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star
Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.
Homer, The Iliad
[Of course, these are not Homer’s words but those of David Benioff, now perhaps more famous for being the creator and show-runner of Game of Thrones]
