As long as you're alive... ...you can't put life on hold…
““As long as you're alive... ...you can't put life on hold like you can with a game-so that's why... ...those brief respites... ...when you can forget all the bitterness and pain... they let you take a breath... ...and calm your heart. If you don't give yourself that kind of time... ...living on just becomes, every so often-it gets to be too painful.””
