Even when you feel you've reached the end or edge of life, hold on. Life itself will ultimately take care of you.

Strangers are just friends waiting to happen

Cats have it all - admiration, an endless sleep, and company only when they want it.

We come into the world alone. We go away the same. We're meant to spend the interlude between in closeness or so we tell ourselves. But it's a long way from the morning to the evening.

It's nice sometimes to open up the heart a little and let some hurt come in. It proves you're still alive.

I cannot speculate on what our cluttered mind will save- sleepy Sundays, or a nosebleed after love. I know only the dying heart needs the nourishment of memory to live beyond too many winters.

Do not ask the definition of a friend. He/She is that one without whose company death and dying set in earlier and living is made more pleasurable.

All life is a struggle for existence. Why should it cease to be a struggle if it spreads among the stars?

I never think about losing.
