“Men always want to die for something. For someone. I can see the appeal. You do it once and it’s done. No more worrying, not knowing, about tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. I know you all think it sounds brave, but I’ll tell you something even braver. To struggle and fight for the ones you love today. And then do it all over again the next day. Every day. For your whole life. It’s not as romantic, I admit. But it takes a lot of courage to live for someone, too.” ThinkingKnowsMenWantI CanDoneWholeTodayDiesFightingNextSoundWorryStruggleKnowingTomorrowBraveWhole LifeAppealsNot KnowingNext DayWanting To Die Author:Victor LaValle
