More on Life
“I shall grow old, but never lose life's zest, because the road's last turn will be the best.”
“One may imagine that a man who blew the trumpet for his living would be glad to play the violin for his amusement.”
“We all have a short period of time on this earth-We probably only have the opportunity to do a few things really great and do them well. None of us has any idea how long we're going to be here nor do I, but my feeling is I've got to accomplish a lot of these things while I'm young.”
More on Death
“When I go from hence, let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable.”
“Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love. Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.”
“I have to apologize to you that I am still among the living. There will be a remedy for this, however.”
