“The simple truth - every day is precious. When it's gone, it never comes back to you.”
“Life was precious. Life was fragile. Here one moment, gone the next. Every second should be milked for all it's worth because you never know when the bottom was going to drop out.”
“When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.”
“With every shovelful, it's like we're traveling back in time. Where no one has gone for centuries...or maybe never gone before.”
“Youth is gone -- gone -- and will never come back: can't help it.”
“We live with them every day, and they come so easily to us that they cease to be precious.”
