Nick Hornby Quotes

Still, being fragile creatures, humans always try to hide from themselves the certainty that they will die. They do not see that it is death itself that motivates them to do the best things in their lives.

They do not see that with an awareness of death, they would be able to be even more daring, to go much further in their daily... Paulo Coelho
