"Everything dissolves into meaninglessness when you think about the fact that impermanence is a really, real thing. Perhaps the greatest existential bummer of all is entropy.
Perhaps that's why when we're in love, we're also kind of sad; there is a sadness to the ecstasy...Beautiful things can sometimes make us sad and it's because what they hint at, is the exception - a vision of something more, a vision of a hidden door, a rabbit hole to fall through, but a temporary one; and I think ultimately that is the tragedy.
That is why love simultaneously fills us with melancholy -- that is why sometimes I feel nostalgic over something I haven't lost, because I see its transience."
