He was a good man, but he had a broken heart. That’ll take even the best of them down. - Hugh Howey

The fact that the universe can come to this, that anyone finds it normal, is comically absurd.

Youthful vigor becomes more rot than wisdom. Hopeful optimism is battered by harsh reality. Health and understanding seem to intersect in one’s forties, the one peaking as the other begins its slow ascent. Maybe you’ll know one day what you should’ve taken the time to appreciate. Maybe it’ll be when your knees start popping, when your hands no longer work like they should. It probably won’t be any sooner.

say bad things come in threes, but I don’t think that’s true. I think bad things keep right on coming.
