How Can You Live In The Northeast?
Song lyrics, Surprise (2006)
Context: How can you live in the Northeast?
How can you live in the South?
How can you build on the banks of a river
When the flood water pours from the mouth? How can you be a Christian?
How can you be a Jew?
How can you be a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu?
How can you?
“If you know the why, you can live any how.”
“If you're not ready to die, then how can you live?”
Svaha (2000), p. 265
“Life can seem short or life can seem long, depending on how you live it.”

“How you start your day is how you live your day. How you live your day is how you live your life.”

Variant or paraphrase: You can't decide how you're going to die. Or when. What you can decide is how you're going to live now.
“It wasn’t a death wish. It was a see-how-close-you-can-get-and-live wish.”
