You can't hang around waiting for somebody else to pull your strings. Destiny's what you make of it. You have to face whatever life throws at you. And if it throws more than you'd like, more than you think you can handle? Well then you just have to find the heroism within yourself and play out the hand you've been dealt. The universe never sets a challenge that can't be met. You just need to believe in yourself in order to find the strength to face it.
To me, life is a wild animal. You hope to deal with it when it leaps at you.
It’s just life. You can’t beat life.
Life was a storm to wander through.
Life is sad, life is a bust, all you can do is do what you must.
Life is a pill which none of us can bear to swallow without gilding.
Maturity, as I conceived it, was recognizing what was bad or peculiar in life, admitting it has to stay that way, and going ahead with the best of things.
