“Those who do not know how to live must make a merit of dying.”

“May be able to die those who didn't know how to live”

“They merit more praise who know how to suffer misery than those who temper themselves with contentment.”

“I love those who do not know how to live, except by going under, for they are those who cross over.”

“Do I know what a man is ? Do I know how a man is supposed to die ? I’m still trying to find out how a man should live. Am I supposed to tell someone how to die who has never lived ?”

“A thousand years from now nobody is going to know that you or I ever lived. The cynic is right, but lazy. He says ‘You live, you die and nothing you do will ever make a difference.’ But as long as I live, I’m going to be like Beethoven and shake my fist at fate and try to do something for those who live here now and who knows how far into the future that will go. If I accomplish nothing more than making my arm sore, at least I will be satisfied that I have lived.”
