Life is a temporary condition, Henry. And it's uncertain. That's why you have to seize chances when you find them. Pursue what you want. Take risks. Live, love...all of it. Every last one of us is going to die, but if we don't live as we truly want, if we're not with the one we want to be with, we're dead already. Martha Brockenbrough
About This Quote

This is a poignant quote from the film, The Notebook. Notebook is about a young boy and his love for a girl. The boy, Noah, holds her hand and tells her that he will be the one to die first and that he will hold her hand when she dies. They both know that life is full of ups and downs and it's uncertain.

However, we must seize the chance we get because we don't know when it will end. We must live for today and take risks because we won't be here forever.
