Almost everyone is obsessed with leaving a mark upon the world. Bequeathing a legacy. Outlasting death. We all want to be remembered. I do, too. Thatโs what bothers me most, is being another unremembered casualty in the ancient and inglorious war against disease.
John GreenGetting a lifeโ is something only a complete idiot could believe. Like you can just drive to a store and get a life. See it in its shiny box and look inside the plastic window and catch a glimpse of yourself in a new life and say, โWow, I look much happier โ I think this is the life I need to get!โ, take it to the counter, ring it up, put it on your credit card. If getting a life was that easy, weโd be one blissed-out race.
