“Knowing death is nearby gives you a chance to live...deliberately." -Tristan”

“Life is the death of all of us.' - Tristan”

“Death alone gives meaning to life, and you will never fully live until you know you must die. And make your peace with that knowledge.”

“There would be no chance to get to know death at all ...if it happened only once.”

“After all, our lives are but a sequence of accidents - a clanking chain of chance events. A string of choices, casual or deliberate, which add up to that one big calamity we call life.”

“Okay.” Nate took a deep breath. “Now that we’re all caught up on the new no-no’s of the house, what do you say we find a tarp and some duct tape and MacGyver ourselves a new window in the living room? Just, you know, to keep out the wind…and the leaves…and any sharp-toothed woodland creatures prone to attacking people in their sleep.”Tristan raised a brow.“What?” Nate shrugged. “Death by dragon? Awesome. Death by rabid forest squirrel? Not cool, man. Not cool.”
