Are you looking at me? Are you looking at me? Or, are you looking at the light reflecting off of me?

This boy would look at his future directly in the eyes. Doesn't look that much different than yesterday, he thought. 

Some of these kids act like they've already lived their lives, that whatever lies ahead is already known, their faces melancholic.

"Rebirth: You're lounging on a magnificent balcony open to the starry sky, divine music is playing with such exquisite perfection you can hardly stand it, when all of a sudden something terrible occurs: the magical sounds break up into an obscene cacophony. What is happening? Are you dying? You could put it that way. That awful noise is the first scream of an infant: you. You've been born into a human body hardwired with each and every transgression from the last time around, and now  you must spend the next seventy years clawing your way back to the music. No wonder we cry."

"The future is where you and I will spend the rest of our lives."

"Everything comes to an end."
