I can, therefore I am. |

But how could you live and have no story to tell? |

No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life. |

Life teaches you how to live it, if you live long enough. |

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. |

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. |

Walking on the land or digging in the fine soil I am intensely aware that time quivers slightly, changes occurring in imperceptible and minute ways, accumulating so subtly that they seem not to exist. Yet the tiny shifts in everything--cell replication, the rain of dust motes, lengthening hair, wind-pushed rocks--press inexorably on and on. |

You know, one of the tragedies of real life is that there is no background music. |

The death of a world is judgment of its inadequacy. Death removes the unnecessary and the false. |

You are what you leave behind. |

Life is a slope. As long as you're going up you're always looking towards the top and you feel happy, but when you reach it, suddenly you can see the road going downhill and death at the end of it all. It's slow going up and quick going down. |

Breathing, sleeping, drinking, eating, working, dreaming, everything we do is dying. to live, in fact, is to die. |

The kiss itself is immortal. It travels from lip to lip, century to century, from age to age. Men and women garner these kisses, offer them to others and then die in turn. |

It's okay to eat fish because they don't have any feelings. |

Rather be dead than cool. |

If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got. |

Light is this amazing elixir. We drink light through the skin as vitamin D so we are, literally, light eaters. It is part of our diet. |

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. |

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.
Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. |

Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask, "Is life a multiple choice test or is it a true or false test?" ...Then a voice comes to me out of the dark and says, "We hate to tell you this but life is a thousand word essay. |

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. |

The only unit of time that matters is heartbeats. |

Wherever I found a living creature, there I found the will to power. |

There is more to life than increasing its speed. |
