“After us they'll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they'll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, "Oh! Life is so hard!" and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.”

“Not only after two or three centuries, but in a million years, life will still be as it was; life does not change, it remains for ever, following its own laws which do not concern us, or which, at any rate, you will never find out. Migrant birds, cranes for example, fly and fly, and whatever thoughts, high or low, enter their heads, they will still fly and not know why or where. They fly and will continue to fly, whatever philosophers come to life among them; they may philosophize as much as they like, only they will fly....”

“I enjoy life so much more now, and I try hard to appreciate each and every day, but deep down I am still afraid it will be taken away.”

“What if I told you 10 years from now your life would be exactly the same?Doubt you'd be happy.So, why are you afraid of change?”

“The hard thing about death is that nothing ever changes. The hard thing about life is that nothing stays the same.”

“New York City in life was much like New York City in death. It was still hard to get a cab, for example.”
