Is it mere fiction to you, or do the “series of lost chances” of which the author speaks revive themselves also at the core of your psyche with fierce vengeance at times?
“No one was to blame for what happened, but that does not make it any less difficult to accept. It was all a matter of missed connections, bad timing, blundering in the dark. We were always in the right place at the wrong time, the wrong place at the right time, always just missing each other, always just a few inches from figuring the whole thing out. That’s what the story boils down to, I think. A series of lost chances. All the pieces were there from the beginning, but no one knew how to put them together.” ~ Paul Auster, Moon Palace
