Sebastian Faulks Quotes
If at the one moment in your life when the chance of something transcendental is offered to you, if you have this chance to move beyond the surface of things, to understand - and you say, No, maybe not...

Do you spend the next sixty years trying to be fascinated by the act of breathing?Sebastian Faulks
