Back - Quotes
Maybe true love is a decision. You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody, to give to somebody without worrying whether they`ll give anything back, or if they`re gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn`t something that happens to you. Maybe it`s something you have to choose.

Most, 90 percent and more, of all the organisms that have ever lived have died without viable offspring, but not a single one of your ancestors, going back to the dawn of life on Earth, suffered that normal misfortune. You spring from an unbroken line of winners going back millions of generations, and those winners were, in every generation, the luckiest of the lucky, one out of a thousand or even a million. So however unlucky you may be on some occasion today, your presence on the planet testifies to the role luck has played in your past.
