The Meaning of Night

"The boundaries of this world are forever shifting - from day to night, joy to sorrow, love to hate, and from life itself to death; and who can say at what moment we may suddenly cross over the border, from one state of existence to another, like heat applied to some flammable substance."

The quote above is from the current book that I am reading entitled, The Meaning of Night by Michael Cox. There is something about this sentence that I really like. Feel free to react if you feel the need.

This is a little dark, but it makes you think.
One never knows....would be the element i get from that quote
I am more on the positive side of thoughts and thought processes in general.

Sineddie makes agood point. These days "one never knows."

My first thought upon reading it is that life seems more sacred now than it was 10 years ago...

...then again, 10 years ago my only concern was an acne problem and girl's reaction to that problem.
