Quote by Stephen King
In the end, the wind takes everything, doesn't it? And why not? Why other? If the sweetness of our lives did not depart, there would be no sweetness at all.
Summary
This quote suggests that eventually, everything in life fades away, just like the wind sweeps away objects. It questions why things have to change or disappear, and implies that if the good and pleasurable experiences in life were permanent, they would lose their value and meaning. The quote seems to imply that the transient nature of things, including the loss of sweetness, is necessary for the appreciation and significance of those moments.
