“Human beings are the only ones in nature who are aware that they will die. For that reason and only for that reason, I have a profound respect for the human race, and I believe that its future is going to be much better than its present. Even knowing that their days are numbered and that everything will end when they least expect it, people make of their lives a battle that is worthy of a being with eternal life.

Sometimes I think we're refining all humanity out of our lives.”

“How could they make me fall in love with a city I called home, a city where I stitched my heart and soul into, only to make me rip it all out and leave? The breeze that brought me happiness, the waves of the beach where I found peace, the people who felt more like family than my own, how could they ask me to leave it all behind? The city where I laughed, cried, grew up, and truly lived... How could they expect me to walk away, knowing it would be the last time I strolled through these familiar streets that to me felt like heaven?”
