“But adulthood," continued the barely twentysomething, "doesn't give you power over what matters most. It doesn't protect you from pain, loss, fate. That's part of being human.”

“This is what being alive feels like, you know? The place doesn't matter. You just live.”

“Take it from me, Fate doesn't care most of the time.”

“Just because Fate doesn't deal you the right cards, it doesn't mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.”

“Tis but a surface-view of human nature which gives the impression that the argument to immortality from our a priori powers leads to nothing more than bare continuance. What it really leads to, is the continuance of a being whose most intimate nature is found, not in the capacity of sensory life, but in the power of setting and appreciating values, through its still higher power of determining its ideals. For such a nature to continue, is to continue in the gradual development of all that makes for worth.”

“It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are
going.”

“It doesn't matter what you did or where you were, it matters where you are and what you're doing.”

“It doesn't matter what it is that leaves a hole inside you. It just matters that it’s there.”

“It doesn't matter how much you think and wish, doing is what matters.”

“It doesn't matter how many times you say it. It'll still be true.'
'And it doesn't matter what you won't let me say, that'll still be true too.”
