&quot;I realize that life is risks. It&#039;s acknowledging the past but looking forward. It&#039;s taking chances that we will make mistakes but believeing we all deserve to be forgiven.&quot; <br /> -The Dead Tossed Waves.

&quot;I have a very pessimistic view of life. You should know this about me if we&#039;re gonna go out. You know, I - I feel that life is - is divided up into the horrible and the miserable. Those are the two categories, you know. The - the horrible would be like, um, I don&#039;t know, terminal cases, you know, and blind people, crippled. I don&#039;t know how they get through life. It&#039;s amazing to me. You know, and the miserable is everyone else. That&#039;s - that&#039;s - so - so - when you go through life - you should be thankful that you&#039;re miserable because you&#039;re very lucky to be miserable.&quot;
