Forever Odd (Odd Thomas, #2)

by Dean Koontz

The joys of life can be found anywhere. Far places only offer exotic ways to suffer.

This world, which has the potential to be Eden, is instead the hell before Hell. In our arrogance, we have made it so.

“If there’s something we want so bad in this life but we can’t have it, maybe we could get it the next time around.” “Or maybe not getting it, accepting less without bitterness, and being grateful for what we have is a part of what we’re here to learn.”

In spite of everything, I’ve chosen life. Now, on with it.

Man, I would make this a tattoo.
