But I was enjoying it, and I still do enjoy it." "It’s funny the way most people love the dead. Once you are dead, you are made for life." "The story of life is quicker then the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello, goodbye." More In Life "Football is like life – it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority."― Vince Lombardi "The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves."― Leon Trotsky "Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be."― Jose Ortega y Gasset
