Oh, there is no love on these streets. We do not preach love around here.

That is the daily message passed to us by life but we sometimes fail to see it.

All through last week, I basked deeply in the hays of my thoughts about life.

I found out that life is a shitty mess, with a huge ego for love.

Give and take is what it takes

You must stop your heart from being wild and free if you wish to let life love you.

Life has a huge ego for love.

You have to do away with the most important things. You can’t really give it all and still have the most important things with you.

If you want to be extremely successful in your career; if you want your name to be remembered for years to come, you must be willing to unintentionally dispose of your family and friends and welcome some of them as your enemies.

You have to be married to the game. Only then will life love you.
