“He was going to live forever, or die in the attempt.”
― Joseph Heller, Catch-22

“Dying was nothing and he had no picture of it nor fear of it in his mind. But living was a field of grain blowing in the wind on the side of a hill. Living was a hawk in the sky. Living was an earthen jar of water in the dust of the threshing with the grain flailed out and the chaff blowing. Living was a horse between your legs and a carbine under one leg and a hill and a valley and a stream with trees along it and the far side of the valley and the hills beyond.”
― Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

“There's no one thing that's true. It's all true.”

“And who understands? Not me, because if I did I would forgive it all.”
― John Donne
