2 Quotes by Olga Bogdan

She stops, stares deep into my eyes. I wonder if this is where I kiss her, because that is how the story goes, right: first we stare at each other’s eyes, then we kiss, then we marry, than we have kids and then we die, unless we were dead all along, in which case no grand finale for us, oh no. Iva flicks my left brow. Ouch. Don’t suppose I ought to marry a flicker.

I have been around for long, long years, yet I still find myself moved by people’s insistence on death being their main and only ruler, the sole destination of their life’s journey. The truth is, the journey’s never over. Another truth? Human beings have great difficulties facing up to the truth.
