“Don't think about what you’ll tell people afterward. The time is here and now. Make the most of it.”

“Don't worry about what others think. Most people don't use their brain very often.”

“But what is it that makes a person want to stay here on this earth anyway, and go on suffering the most awful pain just for the sake of getting to stay? I used to think it was because people fear death. But now I think it is because people can't bear saying goodbye.”

“I think most of us tell ourselves we don't want what we think we can't have just to make life bearable.”

“Don't forget about the past, don't worry about the future, but love what's here now!”

“Take nothing and no one for granted. Time used to be my friend, and now it’s a skittish acquaintance at best. Let life unfold, say what you mean. You can’t always think about what you’ve lost, or what you don’t have, or what you didn’t get. Because when you do that, you’re missing out on the now. You can’t know if you’ll be here tomorrow or a year from now.”
