Life
Danny Guades was jailed for seven years at the Caloocan City Jail for stabbing to death his elder brother Toto some time in the 1980s.
He had been married, but his wife died in December 2006 and he used to sleep at his cousin's house since then. He had a child, who was in grade four at the time of the murders.
Throughout the village Guades was known as a mentally imbalanced trouble-maker who was often drunk, sometimes waking two days, before running to the mangroves to sleep there on the ground for the following two days.
Apparently Guades had also told others that somebody is always chasing him.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“At last a vision has been vouchsafed to us of our life as a whole. We see the bad with the good.... With this vision we approach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our common life, without weakening or sentimentalizing it.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The new man is born too old to tolerate the new world. The present conditions of life have not yet erased the traces of the past. We run too fast, but we still do not move enough.... He looks but he does not contemplate, he sees but he does not think. He runs away from time, which is made of thought, and yet all he can feel is his own time, the present.”
—Eugenio Montale (1896–1981)
“In different hours, a man represents each of several of his ancestors, as if there were seven or eight of us rolled up in each man’s skin,—seven or eight ancestors at least, and they constitute the variety of notes for that new piece of music which his life is.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
