Earth on Fire Ocean of Blood Quotes

“Love is always a risk in all its forms and depths. Love is confronting uncertainty and the possibility of rejection and affection’s demise. Love is laughing at the precariousness and taking the plunge anyway. Love can be painful. Love anyway. Death is certain. Live anyway. Swim in the immersive uncertainty and decide to be vibrant and happy with each moment gifted to us.”

“Men create their own evil every time they awaken. On a small scale they partake in a million wicked acts every day in the form of lies, cheating, swindling, laziness, debauchery, and rage. Every so often they create major depravities such as slavery, large-scale war, genocide, and the like.”

“At the end of the day, even those of us who have never fought in a war have battle scars, visible and invisible, repressed and haunting, external and internal, public and confidential. Regrets can cling to our souls like invasive dew. A spirit dropped by adversity, if encouraged by hope and driven by resolve, can be reborn. For when we stand up after each failing, molded by the courage to endeavor again, a new version of ourselves does rise.”

“The sightless universe insentiently welcomes all lives, but not all who live have the courage to confront the reality of the infinite universe. Of those who dare to contemplate the vastness of infinity, some will turn their backs in horror, some will try, fruitlessly, to rage against the reality of the truth. The wisest amongst us see the supreme value, even if clothed in absurdity compared to timeless eternity, of our own brief life. They wake up to the reality of the supreme value of our life, our time here.”

“The real tragedy of war is the loss of potential. For each life lost a hole will travel through time, an empty spot where he or she would have walked and lived, that will press itself against loved ones like a cold wind. Sometimes at a celebration they will feel like they have forgotten something, perhaps misplaced an object. That is the hole of death.”

“Perhaps the greatest strength is striving to accomplish what no thinks you can. Courage is standing before the wave of the impossible, diving in, and swimming as hard as you can for as long as you can. There’s no bravery in an action you know will succeed.”

“The embryology of fate before the event is but an ethereal wish, gestating into existence only upon the conclusion. A construct about the past, fate only coagulates into physical form once the outcome has been determined. Only looking backwards from the cozy confines of the future can destiny materialize to be dispensed as an explanation—a fallacious attempt at justification—righteous rationalization for the victor and feeble crutch for the defeated.”
