Seize the day. Because, believe it or not, each and every one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold, and die.
He who was living is now dead We who were living are now dying With a little patience.
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.
Fear is stronger than love, remember that. Fear is stronger than love, all that love I gave didn’t mean nothing when it came to fear.
Why am I dying to live if I’m just living to die.
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.
But you people do not understand me, and I am afraid you never will.
If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.
I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.
Life for me has not been a crystal stair.
You want to live-but do you know how to live? You are scared of dying-and, tell me, is the kind of life you lead really any different from being dead?
Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.
It’s so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.
The things we love destroy us every time, lad. Remember that.
That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one you’ll never have.
Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.
Why didn’t I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.
