The seconds were turning into minutes, the minutes into hours and the hours into days. He groaned as he lifted himself from the chair he had previously been sitting on to make himself a cup of tea. He has been trying to come up with some quotes for his tribute but they all sounded shallow to him. He was running out of time and he still couldn't come up with anything. His eyebags were enough indication that he was not getting enough sleep and it was showing in his level of productivity.

“Somewhere causing trouble.” “That sounds accurate.” I folded my arms, studying him for a moment longer. “You know…” I started slowly, “life isn’t just about being prepared all the time.” Rowan didn’t respond immediately. Of course he didn’t. He just watched me, Listening. Always listening. “There’s only one life, Rowan,” I continued, my voice softer now. “One. You don’t get to redo it. You don’t get to pause it.” I stepped closer, gently tapping the book in his hand.

I wanted to be honest with her, to share my deepest self with her, but I also needed to find a way to protect my family and our legacy in the process.

"Like what you see, handsome?" Frank nodded—he had to admit that she was beautiful, and the fact that she was a priestess only encouraged one further for some reason. "What are you doing?" Still, Frank was a little puzzled about what she was up to, and she got out of bed, walking toward him. "I've recently come to understand a truth—you only live once, and without immortality, why pursue that which would always remain out of reach? "Just enjoying what you have would at least mean we didn't live for nothing. That said, I'm not fine with just anyone… it has to be a man like you! You have nothing to worry about either—I'm not clingy!"

When he walked to the door, he suddenly looked back. He looked at Jackie Leves and said earnestly, "Child, a year ago, you were seriously injured and even your face was unrecognizable. I brought you back to life. I know how tough your life was this year, but I still want to remind you that you only have one life, and this is it." "Let bygones be bygones." Jackie didn't want to mention the sufferings he had gone through this past year, but he would always keep Old Master Leonard's words in mind.

"You only live once, but if you live it right, once is enough." _________________________________________________ Narrator: "Man! Never had I had such a great adventure!" Exclaimed Heli as they entered their apartment, slumping on the couch. "You mean, the near death experience? I'll pass." Noah said with a shudder. Jake joined in. "Come on! You can't deny that it was fun now can you? And besides, you looked really cool when you tossed that bullet at that fat nutjob. What did you say again?"

Dylan urges and emphasizes on the last word. We shift into our wolf forms and run,leaving dead bodies and the injured behind. What's that quote that they always say about revenge?

She replied as a matter-of-factly. " You can share mine. I've got lots of it." " No one is truly happy, Ray. There will always be uncertainty at some point... Besides, what's the use? Things will still go wrong." " That's why it's important to live in the moment. Life's too short to live the same day twice." I said, and she slowly turned to me. " You think so?" She asked quietly. " I know so," I muttered, smiling. " Have a goodnight," I said and turned, closing my eyes and drifting into a fitful sleep.

"Hmmm… Intriguing, very intriguing. Go on, continue." "That's basically it Sir. The hardest of problems can only be fixed by the easiest of solutions." "Who said that? Did you just make it up?" "Jesus Christ said that Sir, in the bible." "Wow, that's a good quote. That guy Jesus has some good ones, back in his day." "Here is another one: it is your right to kill anyone that tries to harm you." "He said that? Really??" "Yes Mr. Secretary."

She shared the fact that the only reason she knew the obscure quote was through Bo, who at times would find other people words easier than his own. “The universe may forget us, but our light will brighten the darkness for eons after we’ve departed this world.” It was a repetitive quote, Oscar took a deep breath. “The universe may forget us, but it can’t forget us until we’re gone and we’re still here, our futures still unwritten.” Oscar could not remember the rest of the words, but he could see their effect on Bo. The taller man calms, his breathing moving at a steady pace through slightly parted lips.
