“Some painful events encourage us to value time, appreciate life, and all the this things we possess. Fate is often cruel; the loss of innocent souls it takes our breath away and teaches us to recognize the merit of existence.”

— Prevale

Original: Alcuni dolorosi eventi stimolano a valorizzare il tempo, apprezzare la vita e tutto ciò che di bello si possiede. Il destino molto spesso è crudele, la perdita di anime innocenti toglie il respiro e insegna a riconoscere il pregio dell'esistenza.

“For all of us who are alive, life is the real issue. Yet so often we judge our existence by the things that happen to us—by whether things are going our way or not. Sometimes we feel strong—strong enough to dictate our future. Sometimes we feel that we can make things happen. Then there are times when we feel totally helpless. But through all the dramas and bumps, there is life. There is the very powerful, very existence of every single human being.”

“We are not authors of our lives; we are not even part-authors of the events that mark us most deeply. Nearly everything that is most important in our lives is unchosen. The time and place we are born, our parents, the first language we speak - these are chance, not choice. It is the casual drift of things that shapes our most fateful relationships. The life of each of us is a chapter of accidents.”
