Quotes by Keith Ward (?)

“She told him the White Kingdom was where husbands and wives lived after death. He had never believed her; when he was dead, he’d just be dead, he always countered. Now he saw how foolish he was to never give thought to anything beyond this life.”

“I’m not any good with speeches, but life is short. You have to grab it strong, like it’s a sword, swing it around over your head, and scream until you can’t even talk anymore. That is how I have tried to live. It’s how you should, too.” Kertram”
