“Some days are better than others, for human optimism has no limits.”
― Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator

“It never was any better, it never will be any better. It will only be richer or poorer, sadder but not wiser, until the very last day.”
― Walter M. Miller Jr., A Canticle for Leibowitz

“The days seemed to stretch out toward infinity, blank and humid, without purpose, and at night I was kept awake by the endless drone of mosquitoes and helicopters. (Why wars must be contested under such conditions I shall never understand. Is not death sufficient?)”
― Tim O'Brien, Tomcat in Love

“You're cheating yourself out of today. Today is calling to you, trying to get your attention, but you're stuck on tomorrow, and today trickles away like water down a drain. You wake up the next morning and that today that you wasted is gone forever. It's now yesterday. Some of those moments may have had wonderful things in store for you, but you'll never know.”
― Jerry Spinelli, Love, Stargirl
