“We are born one time only, we can never start a new life equipped with the experience we've gained from the previous one. We leave childhood without knowing what youth is, we marry without knowing what it is to be married, and even when we enter old age, we don't know what it is we're heading for: the old are innocent children innocent of thier old age. In that sense, man's world is the planet of inexperience.”
― Milan Kundera, The Art of the Novel

“An unhealthy soul requires a healthy body.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
