“The effect of a single good deed could last for centuries, like planting a sapling of a long-living tree or writing a book that humans can benefit from generation after generation, or discovering a medicine, or inventing a useful invention. The power of good deeds could last forever; it is us who decide whether to leave a good impact during our lives or not.”

“Everyone thinks I have a death wish, ya know. But I don't want to die. Dying is easy. No I want to live. But getting close to death is the only way to feel alive. And once you do it makes you realize that everything you were doing before wasn't actually living. It was just making due. Call me crazy, but I think we do the best living when the stakes are high.”

“We're led to believe that all these material things will make us happy, that they signify success and contentment, when, in actual fact, the opposite is true. All that this clutter does is anchor you to one place. I think all you really need to be happy is what that little girl down on the beach has - the sun on your back, food on the table and someone to love who loves you in return. If it's so simple, though, why do we dither around for so many years looking for something else?”
