“Basically, being alive means keeping yourself ready for the sky to fall in on you at any time. If you start from the assumption that existence is only an ordeal, a test we have to pass, then youâ€™re equipped to deal with its sorrows and its surprises.

Youâ€™re not piloting the ship, youâ€™re following the course of your destiny.”
