«The reason death sticks so closely to life isn’t biological necessity, —it’s envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud.»
— Piscine Molitor Patel, Life of Pi, Yann Martel (via nubivagantmusings)
