“To become a spectator of one's own life is to escape the suffering of life.”
“He'd somehow lived a detached life, more Like a spectator than a participant in his own existence.”
“One doesn’t become a witch to run around being helpful either…. It’s to escape all that – to have a life of one’s own, not an existence doled out to you by others, charitable refuse of their thoughts, so many ounces of stale bread of life a day.”
“Life is not a spectator sport.”
“Life is for participating, not for spectating.”
“Thinking this is "The One" becomes an excuse to let your own life deteriorate.”
