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

But even in his darkest hours, he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him, and his world would be whole again... And his belief in God and love and art would be re-awakened in his heart. The boy saw the comet and suddenly his life had meaning.”

“There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;

Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.”

which is doing its best day and night to make you like
