Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
-George Bernard Shaw
I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.
