Todd May quotes
-
“If you're immortal, you can imagine being sad or grieving if a lover leaves you. But if everyone were immortal, then that leaving isn't necessarily forever. There's always a chance that you get them back somewhere down the road - you know, in 5, 10, 20,000 years. So I think that the urgency of the moment gets sapped.”
-- Todd May -
“I don't want to say that the creativity would give out - I can't imagine what argument I would bring forward for that. But I think that there's something on the individual level that's a limitation.”
-- Todd May -
“Different development itself runs the threat of making life shapeless.”

-- Todd May -
“One of the things that's crucial to me about love is that it has to be in the moment.”
-- Todd May -
“To live in the moment and in the future at the same time would seem to me to be the trick.”
-- Todd May
