“Anything we have, we are only borrowing. Anything. Any time.”

“Life doesn’t owe us anything. We only owe ourselves, to make the most of the life we are living, of the time we have left, and to live in gratitude.”

“No time for better words, no time to unsay anything.-Til We Have Faces”

“We should not only use all the brains we have but all that we can borrow.”

“Funny that. We live in islands of Hours and we never seem to have time enough for anything...”

“Alas. What have we done to our good, bawdy, Anglo-Saxon four-letter words? ...We have blunted them so with overuse that they no longer have any real meaning for us. ...When will we be able to redeem our shock words? They have been turned to marshmallows. ...We no longer have anything to cry in time of crisis. 'Help!' we bleat. And no one hears us. 'Help' is another of those four-letter words that don't mean anything any more.”
