    Steven Decker
    “Edward breathed in the sweet fragrance of the dogwood blossoms. The delicious air came into his lungs and passed into his blood, coursing through his veins with euphoric energy that he’d never experienced. He felt as strong as a hundred men as they passed out of the dogwood coppice and began the ascent up the hill. Their pace was leisurely. Edward could have run all the way to the top if he wanted, but no urge to do so imposed itself on him. For the first time in his life, Edward felt peace, down to the marrow of his bones.”

    “There was no going back now. Rubber and metal could only take so much. The car could shatter and send its passengers into an elemental distillation of rock, flesh, blood, and ash. Alchemy, thought Mary, grimly. Too much bloody alchemy.”

    Erich Maria Remarque
    “Kropp on the other hand is a thinker. He proposes that a declaration of war should be a kind of popular festival with entrance-tickets and bands, like a bull fight. Then in the arena the ministers and generals of the two countries, dressed in bathing-drawers and armed with clubs, can have it out on themselves. Whoever survives the country wins. That would be much simpler and more than just this arrangement, where the wrong people do the fighting”

    Miguel Ruiz
    “That is why humans resist life. To be alive is the biggest fear humans have. Death is not the biggest
    fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive — the risk to be alive and express what we
    really are. Just being ourselves is the biggest fear of humans. We have learned to live our lives trying
    to satisfy other people’s demands. We have learned to live by other people’s points of view because of
    the fear of not being accepted and of not being good enough for someone else.”
    ― Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
