"We are not idealised wild things"

 


We are not idealised wild things, we are imperfect mortals, aware of that mortality even as we push away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses, we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we were. As we are.no longer. As we will one day not be at all.

     — Joan Didion
