Paul Bowles: The sheltering sky - Bernardo Bertolucci Film

"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life is an inexhaustible well. Things happen only a certain number of times. And a small number, really. How many times will you remember an afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon so deeply a part of you that you can't be  without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless".
