Of course. that's what people do in a disordered world, a world of freedom and choice: they leave when they want. they disappear, they come back, they leave again. and you are left to pick up the pieces on your own.

More From Lauren Oliver

Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.

Here is the trap you are in.... and it's not my trap—i haven't trapped you. because abortions are illegal, women who need and want them have no choice in the matter, and you—because you know how to perform them—have no choice, either. what has been violated here is your freedom of choice, and every woman's freedom of choice, too. if abortion was legal, a woman would have a choice—and so would you. you could feel free not to do it because someone else would. but the way it is, you're trapped. women are trapped. women are victims, and so are you.

But the difference between the little pieces and the big pieces - i'm not actually sure which are the little pieces. with some of the big pieces, it's a lot of musical running around, whereas the little pieces, you can say everything you want to say.

The human race will disappear. other races will appear and disappear in turn. the sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. which will also disappear. everything will disappear. and what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. good, evil, morality, feelings? pure 'victorian fictions'. only egotism exists.

There can be no truly moral choice unless that choice is made in freedom; similarly, there can be no really firmly grounded and consistent defense of freedom unless that defense is rooted in moral principle. in concentrating on the ends of choice, the conservative, by neglecting the conditions of choice, loses that very morality of conduct with which he is so concerned. and the libertarian, by concentrating only on the means, or conditions, of choice and ignoring the ends, throws away an essential moral defense of his own position.
Freedom Mean Responsibility
I finally understood that by being on a perpetual diet, i had practiced a "disordered" form of eating my whole life. i restricted when i was hungry and in need of nutrition and binged when i was so grotesquely full i couldn't be comfortable in any position by lying down. diets that tell people what to eat or when to eat are the practices inbetween. and dieting, i discovered, was another form of disordered eating, just as anorexia and bulimia similarly disrupt the natural order of eating.

Whatever the intellectual is too certain of, if he is healthily playful, he begins to find unsatisfactory. the meaning of his intellectual life lies not in the possession of truth but in the quest for new uncertainties.
