Summary

This quote hints at the contradictory nature of life's transitions. It suggests that being alive can often bring pleasant experiences, while death is portrayed as a state of tranquility. However, the focus lies on the challenges faced during the process of transitioning, which implies that it is the change itself that poses the difficulties. It encapsulates our fear of the unknown, as we struggle to navigate and adapt to the unfamiliar circumstances that arise during critical transitions in life.

Nick stands up and offers his hand to me. I have no idea what he wants, but what the hell, I take his hand anyway, and he pulls me up on my feet then presses against me for a slow dance and it's like we're in a dream where he's Christopher Plummer and I'm Julie Andrews and we're dancing on the marble floor of an Austrian terrace garden. Somehow my head presses Nick's t-shirt and in this moment I am forgetting about time and Tal because maybe my life isn't over. Maybe it's only beginning.

The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.
