Quote by Adam Silvera

“- T'as raison. T'as grave raison? Tout fout le camp, tous les gens et toutes les choses finissent par crever. Ca craint d'être humain, mec. On pense qu'on est tellement indestructibles et éternels, tout ça parce qu'on est capable de penser et de s'occuper de nous-mêmes, contrairement aux cabines téléphoniques et aux bouquins. Mais je parie que les dinosaures pensaient aussi qu'ils seraient les maîtres du monde pour toujours. - On n'agit pas, répond Matéo. On ne fait que réagir quand on prend conscience qu'il ne nous reste plus beaucoup de temps.”

When we pay attention to things like parasites and the moon, we are paying attention to the fact that we are citizens of the universe. Most of being human is an effort to forget.”
