Different people Quote by Daniel Nester
““What keeps me going when I think of ex-friends is that we’re all really going through several lifetimes, often at the same time, all with different people; that we draw towards and push away from each other when we have to, like fucking quarks and particles, and sometimes that drawing and the pushing heals, and sometimes it just hurts.””
