"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."
 

— Mark Twain

"And once you live a good story, you get a taste for a kind of meaning to life, and you can’t go back to being normal; you can’t go back to meaningless scenes stitched together by the forgettable thread of wasted time."
 

— Donald Miller

“The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder—a waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life, and, having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.”    

—Thomas Carlyle
