When you're young, everything carries a twin charge of novelty and infinite possibility

I will continue my path, but I will keep a memory always.

Christmas works like glue, it keeps us all sticking together.

I am not afraid of death, which after all can't be far away. What does frighten me, though, is the halfway stage.

The dead do not harm us, only the alive.

Wherever you look there is so much loss and folly to contemplate.

The dead and not-yet dead, we are company all together.

I can only strive for what is important

Learning is important. It is a way to make a life better for yourself and your family.

I need them and they need me to need them

I am afraid of losing what I have already valued.

In our springtime there is no better, there is no worse.Blossoming branches burgeon as the must.Some are long, some are short.'Stay upright.Stay with life.

Because it's so difficult to fight what you cannot control and right now I can't even control my own imagination as it grips my hair and drags me into the dark.

Nobody needs saving, just a little bit of empathy

Beauty is a fading flower,Truth is but a wizard's tower,Where a solemn death-bell tolls,And a forest round it rolls.

If, for example, you were to think more deeply about death, then it would be truly strange if, in so doing, you did not encounter new images.

We gild our medicines with sweets; why not clothe truth and morals in peasant garments as well?

Hell and heaven are within you, both gates are within you. When you are behaving unconsciously there is the gate of hell; when you become alert and conscious, there is the gate of heaven.

Learning is a lifetime process, but there comes a time when we must stop adding and start updating.
