Summary

"The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching one's goals, but rather in having no goals to reach." - Benjamin E. Mays. This quote highlights the importance of having dreams and aspirations in life. It suggests that the true tragedy lies in living a purposeless existence, lacking direction and ambition. It reminds us that the journey towards our goals is as significant as the goals themselves. Without goals, we may simply drift through life without a sense of fulfillment, and never fully realize our potential. Therefore, Mays urges us to set meaningful objectives and actively pursue them, as this is what gives depth and meaning to our lives.

Then when Matt had come along it hadn't been fireworks, passion and fights and drama. It had been low- key, sweet, lovely. But that didn't meant it wasn't the real thing. It never had done. Just because it wasn't suprising hadn't meant it wasn't right.
