"There are stars in the night sky that look brighter than the others, and when you look at them through a telescope you realize you are looking at twins. The two stars rotate around each other, sometimes taking nearly a hundred years to do it. They create so much gravitational pull there's no room around for
anything else. You might see a blue star, for example, and realize only later that it has a white dwarf as a companion --- that first one shines so bright, by the time you notice the second one, it's really too late."

Sometimes when you focus too much on something, you tend to forget about the small little things around and eventually take them for granted.

"See, as much as you want to hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it. And the very act of living is a tide: at first it seems to make no difference at all, and then one day you look down and see how much pain has eroded."
