#quotes #abraham-lincoln #christianity #men

I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world.

In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive; those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood. ~Osamu Dazai
#quotes #osamu-dazai #life #mother #hardship
