I read this on the streetcar this morning and it’s even more striking in context:

“… it didn’t feel like the last time, I’d kissed Anna for the last time, seen my parent for the last time, spoken for the last time, why didn’t I learn to treat everything like it was the last time, my greatest regret is how much I believed in the future…” -Thomas Schell (Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Foer, pg 281)
