| Life's a pretty precious and wonderful thing. You can't sit down and let it wrap around you... You have to plunge into it; you have to dive into it; you have to dive through it! And you can't save it; you can't store it up; you can't horde it in a vault. You've got to taste it; you've got to use it. The more you use, the more you have... that's the miracle of it! -Kyle Samuel Crichton |
