We will forever destroy because we need a world of our own, a God-world, which it is not in your nature to build

Louis C. K.Blaire, This teardrop represents many things. The tears I know youโve shed over holding your motherโs piece of satin. The tears youโve shed over each loss youโve experienced.

Robert Aris WillmottWe are all here on this planet, as it were, as tourists. None of us can live here forever. The longest we might live is a hundred years. So while we are here we should try to have a good heart and to make something positive and useful of our lives. Whether we live just a few years or a whole century, it would be truly regrettable and sad if we were to spend that time aggravating the problems that afflict other people, animals, and the environment. The most important things is to be a good human being.
Dalai LamaWhen they'd been on the run, with death maybe lying in wait around any corner, they had never been more alive. When each day might be your last, it made a big difference.
