There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle, or you can live as if everything is a miracle.
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.
Love is the goal, life is the journey.
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
