Life is just a slice of pizza.

Life is not measured by the regular ticking of a clock, nor numerical dates placed at equidistant squares on a calendar. Life comes in slices, like a pizza cut into irregular sizes, each given a name as if a different topping. Some bear the names of people and places that were around a long time, and yet cut no slice of significance. Some might bear the names of people you almost didn’t meet, or places you almost didn’t go. But you did, and they cut you the most generous slices of all. (Ian Gordon Craig).
