I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.

Dreams, they're what sets us apart from being mere a brain and a body.

The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.

I love you, not just for now, but for always, and I dream of the day that you’ll take me in your arms again.

If you give appreciation to people, you win their goodwill.
