The following quote is from a book called Matterhorn, a fictional book about the Vietnam war.
The book was written by Karl Marlantes, a guy who served in Vietnam and was much decorated. I just finished the book - it is intense and powerful. Read it, if it's your kind of thing.
Anyway all that is a set up for the quote, which references war but is absolutely applicable to life in general.
It gave me chills.
"War was breaking life apart and splintering it, so there were no second chances and all the first chances were wasted."
