As you become older you become increasingly aware of your mortality. It’s a subconscious thing – I don’t think you wake up every day and go: ‘Fuck me, I’m dying, I’d better do something.’ I think early on the drive is just that people tell you you’re supposed to be driven, you’re supposed to do something by the time you’re 25; to have gone to college or got married, and then at some point your drive is just that you’re aware of your mortality. - Joaquin Phoenix

Green and Gold by Inge Bovens

We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we’ve just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we’ve barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, that our destiny lies above us.  INTERSTELLAR | Christopher Nolan (2014)

If death ever comes your way and won’t let you pass…make sure you scream right back in his face.
