“Life just happens so quickly and now I have a greater appreciation for life after everything that's happened in the last five years.”

“People like to hold onto life in many ways, but everything is transitory. This is it, right now. Youth doesn’t last forever, beauty doesn’t last forever, so appreciate it for the moment.”

“I have a feeling that my boat
has struck, down there in the depths,
against a great thing.
And nothing
happens! Nothing … Silence … Waves.
— Nothing happens? Or Has everything happened,
and we are standing now, quietly, in the new life?”

“The fact is that five years ago I was, as near as possible, a different person to what I am tonight. I, as I am now, didn't exist at all. Will the same thing happen in the next five years? I hope so.”

“I know everything that has happened to everybody in the past, everything that is happening now and everything that will happen in the future.”

“Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it… it's just easier if you do.”

“Life doesn't just happen to you; you
receive everything in your life based on what you've given.”

“So - whatever happened to you?'
'Life. Life happened.”

“Last year nothing happened
The year before nothing happened
And the year before that nothing
happened.”

“Life has many ways of testing a person's will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.”
