“Survival was not enough. One had to live.”
“Certainly survival is important - very important - but at some point surviving wasn't enough. I felt ready to complete my surviving journey and start thriving and just living.”
“One can live without having survived”
“If one reads enough books one has a fighting chance. Or better, one's chances of survival increase with each book one reads.”
“If your idea is big enough and crazy enough, all you have to do is survive. If you survive you will succeed.”
“That a man lives is because he is straight. That a man who dupes others survives is because he has been fortunate enough to be spared.”
