QUOTES

I came to the conclusion that though I didn't understand what the meaning of life was about, and still don't totally, it had to have to do with making a difference. That you have to make a difference. That you have to try and make the world a little bit better than you found it and, like me, if you didn't do that, you just occupied space.
