Some chapters in the Book of Life tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and others are exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.

-Maynard. J. Keenan "Maynard. J. Keenan"
You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life.

-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
-William Shakespeare
It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It's just that . . . I just think that some things are meant to be broken, imperfect and chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.
