“I will stop living life for a future happiness that does not & may never exist. I will live for now & stop wasting my time. Every moment I live can be as beautiful as a fantasy. Every second of life is precious. I vow to stop wasting my time on these dreams that turn my life into a nightmare. I vow to live, to be mindful, to pay attention to life & hold it hard to my heart. Every beat another second going by.”

- Margaret Cho

“Everything passes away – suffering, pain, blood, hunger; pestilence. The sword will pass away too, but the stars will still remain when the shadows of our presence and our deeds have vanished from the earth. There is no man who does not know that. Why, then, will we not turn our eyes toward the stars? Why?”

- Mikhail Bulgakov, The White Guard
