When you consider something like death, after which (there being no news flash to the contrary) we may well go out like a candle flame, then it probably doesn’t matter if we try too hard, are awkward sometimes, care for one another too deeply, are excessively curious about nature, are too open to experience, enjoy a nonstop expense of the senses in an effort to know life intimately and lovingly.
– Diane Ackerman

I always enjoy the Clock Quotes, but I think this one is particularly nice. What a beautiful turnabout of the “what does it matter in the end?” bit.
