1 " Life is not a fairy tale. One moment you are here, the next you are gazing into the eternal abyss. And that is all that there is to it. "
― Jaka Tomc , You Only Die Once: A Short Story
2 " How the hell can it end happily? Raise your hand if you survived your own death because you had a trick up your sleeve when the Grim Reaper showed up at your doorstep. The end is known and unavoidable. Life is a fucking tragedy, which no one survives. That's how it is. Mankind cannot escape the inevitable, and Earth cannot avert its pending demise. The sun, the universe and everything that exists will not survive. It will all come to an end one day. That is the only unquestionable truth. "
3 " War makes you numb. So does intensive contemplation about life, or past relationships. You become a fucking surgeon, seeing only the body that needs to be repaired, patched up or improved. Absolutely desensitized, and unable to humanly respond to the stimuli life throws at you. "
4 " Life is fragile. You are here today and gone tomorrow. When days pass, you are merely a memory, rotting in a cemetery. That's how it is. "
5 " My end is mine, and it is my right to choose it myself. "
