Since I don’t know when, everything has a date on it—bread expires, apples expire, except for that pile of books I don’t know when I’ll ever finish.
What you do is watched by heaven—three feet above your head, the gods are watching. Are everyone’s hands really that clean? Not necessarily. That’s why I sometimes deal with old books.
I’m a person quite abstract and polite, but I want a little surprise, and I’m nostalgic and conservative too. As long as curiosity remains, I’ll never expire, and I’ll always run into that so-called flutter of the heart.
