Everything that we love will, at some point, be taken away from us. If I think about everyone I love eventually being taken away from me by death, or simply by getting lost from each other in the world, it makes me value them much more now. And I'm much less likely to be indifferent. For me, indifference is the end of life.

I want to do things for people they will never forget. Maybe that’s the best thing I can do in life.
Simon Van Booy
Image
If you travel too often, you actually come face-to-face with what you're trying to escape. I feel like when I travel alone, sometimes it's like being locked in a hotel room with my own worst enemy.
Simon Van Booy
Image
Where are people going? I wonder what they hope will happen and what they are afraid of? For me it's the same thing and has to do with being loved.
Simon Van Booy
Image
Even if you have loved only once in your life, you're ruined.
Simon Van Booy
Image
Love is also a violence, and cannot be undone.
Simon Van Booy
Image
You were unsure which pain is worse -- the shock of what happened or the ache for what never will.
Simon Van Booy
Image
Some studies show that we're physically attracted, like animal attraction, to people that have a different immune system to us. So even though I love cologne, it's probably keeping me from finding a good mate.
