“Good fortune can take forever to get to you, but as it turns out, sorrow is as quick as a shot.”
“Time wasn't the same anymore. Doors were slamming shut before we even knew they'd been opened. Good fortune can take forever to get to you, but as it turns out, sorrow is as quick as a shot.”
“You can go out, you can take a ride.And when you get out on your own,You get all smoothed out inside.And it's good to be alone...”
“...you shouldn’t hate something you don’t know, because it may turn out to be the bearer of your greatest good fortune.”
“No one can take the shot for you.”
“The reality is that dying isn’t bad, but it takes forever. And that forever is no time at all. I know that sounds like a contradiction, or maybe just wordplay. What it really is, it turns out, is a matter of perspective.—David Foster Wallace “Good Old Neon” (2004)”
