“Is better to get an instant life, Instead of just there for life”

“Acceptance doesn’t mean that life gets better; it just means that my way of living life on life’s terms improves.”

“...but I felt then the same way Nicky did, that I was getting myself more life. Not necessarily a better life, not a life more promising than the one I already had. But because I thought this life was in addition to and not instead of, I devoured it without a second's hesitation.”

“It just goes to show, if you try to ruin someone's life, it only gets better.”

“You know what it's like. Sometimes, you meet a wonderful person, but it's only for a brief instant. Maybe on vacation or on a train or maybe even in a bus line. And they touch your life for a moment, but in a special way. And instead of mourning because they can't be with you for longer, or because you don't get the chance to know them better, isn't it better to be glad that you met them at all?”

“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.”
