“Always knowing you're going to die
And until then knowing you've got to live.”

“If you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be noisy and colorful and lively.”

“You can only know where you're going if you know where you've been.”

“Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone.
They paved paradise,
And put up a parking lot.”

“To know you're going to die, and to be prepared for it at any time.
That's better. That way you can actually be more involved in your life
while you're living.”

“You're spending your life without renewing it. You've got to be amused, properly healthily amused. You're spending your vitality without making any. Can't go on you know. Depression! Avoid depression!”

“As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed as ignorant as you were at twenty-two, you'd always be twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it.”

“I know you loved her, but it's okay to let it go now. You know that, don't you? You've got to be able to let it go.”

“You don't know how to live until you learn how to die.”

“Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow.
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go.”
