Trying to avoid clichés helps life become fresh again, helps us remember what life is about in the first place. -Fingerprint
Mark Heard

Joseph Conrad
If I have ventured wrongly, very well, life then helps me with its penalty. But if I haven't ventured at all, who helps me then? (pp. 64 - 65)
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
The chain of life runs smoothly from one generation to the next and none of the links stand out except here and there a link one sees by accident.
Clifford D. Simak
Life is the gathering of waves to a head, at death they break into a million fragments each one of which, however, is absorbed at once into the sea of life and helps to form a later generation which comes rolling on till it too breaks.
