Love lost is still love. It takes a different form, thats all. You cant see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. Life has to end. Love doesnt.
No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.
If you are fully alive to the prospect of dying, you really start reprioritising your life.
You can't substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship
Fairness, does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young. ~ The blue man
It is never too late or too soon. It is when it is supposed to be.
Desire sets our compass, but real life steers our course.
You see, you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too--even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling.
Death is the end of a lifetime, not the end of a relationship.
The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.
You know what that reflects? Unsatisfied lives. Unfulfilled lives. Lives that haven't found meaning . Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do more. You can't wait until sixty-five.
You count the hours you could have spent with your mother. It's a lifetime in itself.
There is no fair in life and death. If it were, no good men would die young.
As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed as ignorant as you were at twenty-two, you'd always be twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it.
