“We mourn the future because it's easier than admitting that we're miserable in the present.”
Robyn Schneider, Extraordinary Means

Abraham Lincoln
“The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both *may* be, and one *must* be, wrong. God cannot be *for* and *against* the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party - and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaption to effect His purpose. I am almost ready to say that this is probably true - that God wills this contest, and wills that it shall not end yet. By His mere great power, on the minds of the now contestants, He could have either *saved* or *destroyed* the Union without human contest. Yet the contest began, And, having begun He could give the final victory to either side any day. Yet the contest proceeds.”
Abraham Lincoln

Robyn Schneider
“Being temporary doesn't make something matter any less, because the point isn't for how long, the point is that it happened.”
Robyn Schneider, Extraordinary Means

Robyn Schneider
“There's difference between being dead and dying. We're all dying. Some of us die for ninety years, and some of us die for nineteen. But each morning everyone on this planet wakes up one day closer to their death. Everyone. So living and dying are actually different words for the same thing, if you think about it.”
Robyn Schneider, Extraordinary Means

Robyn Schneider
“And the thing about trying to cheat death is that, in the end, you still lose.”
Robyn Schneider, Extraordinary Means
