Pages and Sentences of the week!

Sum forty tales from the afterlives by David Eagleman

Pages 1-110

Sentences

1. Four weeks sitting in thought, wondering if there is something better you could be doing with your time.

2.But it serves as the punishment for your sins, a Promethean entrails-pecking moment, crouching half-horse half man, with the knowledge that you cannot appreciate the destination without knowing the starting point; you cannot revel in the simplicity unless you remember the alternatives.

3.This is not a job choice but indenture: you owe the same number of hours of service as you spent dreaming during your lifetime.

These were some of my favorite sentences from the entire book. It was only 110 pages so there weren't as many to choice from like some of the other books, but everyone of these sentences made me think. I spent a while after each of these sentences and thought to myself. But the one I like the most was the first sentence because it seems like I do that a lot. It seems like I spend weeks at a time trying to find something to do. Something new and exciting but frankly that isn't going to happen in Fort Wayne.
