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:
“Never in my life have I met anyone who did not agree that Emerson is an inspiring writer. One may not accept his thought in toto, but one comes away from a reading of him purified, so to say, and exalted. He takes you to the heights, he gives you wings. He is daring, very daring. In our day he would be muzzled, I am certain.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“I have heard that whoever loves is in no condition old. I have heard that whenever the name of man is spoken, the doctrine of immortality is announced; it cleaves to his constitution. The mode of it baffles our wit, and no whisper comes to us from the other side. But the inference from the working of intellect, hiving knowledge, hiving skill,—at the end of life just ready to be born,—affirms the inspirations of affection and of the moral sentiment.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“His meter was bitter, and ironic and spectacular and inviting: so was life. There wasn’t much other life during those times than to what his pen paid the tribute of poetic tragic glamour and offered the reconciliation of the familiarities of tragedy.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
