And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened.

— Douglas Coupland, Life After God

Finally I see something great that’s been reblogged many times over on Tumblr.  This is from one of my favorite books of all time.  I’m always giving my copy away to people though or I would be reading it right now instead of posting this.
