If you want your life to be a small part of eternity, to be lucid even in the heart of madness, love... Love with all your strength, love as though it is all you know how to do, love enough to make the gods themselves jealous... for it is in love that all ugliness reveals its beauty.
Yasmina KhadraThere's nothing, absolutely nothing, more important than your life. And your life isn't more important than other people's lives.
