"Without purpose and meaning in our lives, we banish ourselves to wander this plane of existence with self-destructive tendencies until the bell tolls and our breath capsizes in our lungs, snatching our chance to redeem ourselves forever."
"Things happen, and nothing is for sure, but you just have to keep going, believing that one day, you'll find something that is."
