“Life is life. You choose to live it or you do not.”

“It's not about surviving. It should be about love. When you know love...that's what makes this life worth it. When you live with it everyday. Wake up with it, hold on to it during the thunder and after a nightmare. When love is your refuge from the death that surrounds us all and when it fills you so tight that you can't express it.”

“When you know love . . . that's what makes life worth it.”

“...I realized that life isn't something to be scared of. That you don't have to hold on so tightly that you can't breathe.”

“Life is never that simple. And the fact that it's not that simple to you means only one thing: You're still alive.”

“What matters is what we do with the life we have."-The Dark and Hollow Places”

“That's just the way life is. Some days you wake up and the beach is clear and you forget about everything that surrounds us. And some days you wake up and it looks like this. That's the nature of the tides.”
