“They say that just before you die your whole life flashes before your eyes, but that's not how it happened for me.”

“There is no remedy for death—or birth—except to hug the spaces in between. Live loud. Live wide. Live tall.”

“The snow filled the air with a soft grey-blue mist, softening the wind and gunfire, bringing the earth and sky together into one swaying blur.”
