I am learning that if I go on accepting the framework for life that others have given me, if I fail to make my own choices, the reason for my life will be missing. I will be unable to recognize that which I have the power to change. I refuse to spend my life regretting the things I failed to do.
– Liv Ullman

Do not seek death. Death will find you.
But seek the road which makes death a fulfillment.
