What is a ghost?...
"What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again? An instant of pain, perhaps. Something dead which still seems to be alive. An emotion suspended in time. Like a blurred photograph. Like an insect trapped in amber." -The Devil's Backbone (movie)

...People die at all ages...
"20. When my son was six he said, “We don’t know how many years we have for our lives. People die at all ages.” He said it without anguish or remorse, without fear or desire. It has been healing to me to accept in a very simple way that my mother’s life was 45 years long, that there was nothing beyond that. There was only my expectation that there would be—-my mother at 89, my mother at 63, my mother at 46. Those things don’t exist. They never did. / 21. Think: *my son’s life was 22 years long.* Breathe in. / 22. Think: *my son’s life was 22 years long.* Breathe out. / 23. There is no 23." -Sugar; Dear Sugar
...go on as you never have...
"It is impossible for you to go on as you were before, so you must go on as you never have. It’s wrong that this is required of you. It’s wrong that your son died. It will always be wrong. The obliterated place [from your son's death] is equal parts destruction and creation. The obliterated place is pitch black and bright light. It is water and parched earth. It is mud and it is manna. The real work of deep grief is making a home there." Sugar; Dear Sugar

One life is all we have...
"One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. And then it is gone. But to sacrifice what you are and live without belief, that's more terrible than dying." -Joan of Arc
'Hello,' his voice was sharp...
" 'Hello,' his voice was sharp, pissed. 'It's me,' I said. 'It's two-thirty in the fucking morning,' he said. 'Who died?' 'I did.' " -Alex Witchel; Me Times Three

You can die at any time...
"You can die at any time... It's living that takes true courage." -Himura Kenshin

True tales have no beginning...
"True tales have no beginning or end. They do not exist only when men say 'Exist!' but instead are always there... reverberating through time in a dance, a weaving if you will. Only humans try to contain it with beginnings and ends. To put boundaries on everything simply because our own lives are bounded by birth and death. And thus, we seek to lessen the power of that which is immortal. True tales have a power of their own though." -The Rain Queen
It is a far, far better...
"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known." -Charles Dickons; A Tale of Two Cities

Why defy your fate...
"Why defy your fate? Is the will to live that powerful...? This is not the end. I am eternal... as long as there is life and death..." -Final Fantasy IX
I exist for one purpose...
"I exist for one purpose... to return everything back to the zero world, where there is no life and no crystal to give life. In a world of nothing, fear does not exist. This is the world that all life desires." -Final Fantasy IX
Death is death...
"Death is death, and the art of stealing a life is no nobler at the point of a blade than from a powder mixed in a drink." -James Clemens; Wit'ch Storm

Why do we meet now...

Never look back, says the legends...
