&quot;According to some, heroic deaths are admirable things. (Generally those who don&#039;t have to do it. Politicians and writers spring to mind.) I&#039;ve never been convinced by this argument, mainly because, no matter how cool, stylish, composed, unflappable, manly, or defiant you are, at the end of the day you&#039;re also dead. Which is a little too permanent for my liking.&quot; &mdash; Jonathan Stroud (Ptolemy&#039;s Gate)

&ldquo;There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.&rdquo; -Buddha

&quot;Life, he realized, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it&#039;s the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.&quot; - The Last Song, Nicholas Sparks
