for whatever reason...

For some reason I had an odd dream last night which prompted me to look up a film I probably haven't seen in over a decade; The Crow. While reading about it I discovered that actor Brandon Lee, who was accidentally killed during the filming of this movie, said this in his last interview.

It's a passage from Paul Bowles' book The Sheltering Sky that he had chosen for his wedding invitations. It is now inscribed on his tombstone.

I'm not trying to be morose here, but I just liked the quote so much that I felt like posting it:

"Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you cannot conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless..."
