Friedrich Nietzsche
“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Sarah Dessen
“Why should I even bother? What's the point, really?"
He thought for a moment. "Who says there has to be a point?" he asked. "Or a reason. Maybe it's just something you have to do.”
Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride
