“The death of the wildebeest herd didn’t change the bloody savagery she’d witnessed in the Roman Circus, but it put life and death in much clearer perspective. Nature wasn’t any nobler or gentler than human beings. It was just as deadly and just as cruel and just as savagely “unfair” to the weak…
Maybe more so.”

“Life isn't just fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all. -William Goldman”

“… one opportunity leads directly to another, just as risk leads to more risk, life to more life, and death to more death.”

“Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all.”

“Maybe it wasn’t anything remotely to do with religion, mysticism or metaphilosophy after all; maybe it was more banal; maybe it was just…accounting.”

“And life changes. Maybe just a little, maybe a lot. And at some point, it just isn't worth the fight to fix it.”

“This seems to me a thing to be noticed, that just as the men of this country are, during this mortal life, more prone to anger and revenge than any other race, so in eternal death the saints of this land, that have been elevated by their merits, are more vindictive than the saints of any other region.”
Hoc autem mihi notabile videtur, quod sicut nationis istius homines hac in vita mortali prae aliis gentibus impatientes et praecipites sunt ad vindictam, sic et in morte vitali meritis jam excelsi, prae aliarum regionum sanctis, animi vindicis esse videntur.

“Life is just a dream on the way to death.”

“Death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.”

“War is not just the business of death, it is the antitheses of life.”
