Julieta > Julieta's Quotes

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god.

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
― Charles Bukowski
