"We'll Go No More A-rovingSo, we'll go no more a-rovingSo late into the night,Though the heart still be as loving,And the moon still be as bright.For the sword outwears its sheath,And the soul wears out the breast,And the heart must pause to breathe,And love itself have rest.Though the night was made for loving,And the day returns too soon,Yet we'll go no more a-rovingBy the light of the moon."

"Life is worth living as long as there's a laugh in it."

"Not on one strand are all life's jewels strung."

"What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying."

"The future is meant for those who are willing to let go of the worst parts of the past. When you cannot take two steps without turning around to inspect your footsteps, you are getting nowhere fast."

"Live fast. Die young. Be wild. Have fun."

"I am never alone wherever I am. The air itself supplies me with a century of love. When I breathe in, I am breathing in the laughter, tears, victories, passions, thoughts, memories, existence, joys, moments, and the hues of the sunlight on many tones of skin; I am breathing in the same air that was exhaled by many before me. The air that bore them life. And so how can I ever say that I am alone?"

"It’s true, I can’t make you love me. But I can refuse to let you out of your cage."

"There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible."The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions."Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly."

"Tortuguer Costa Rica Haiku Lora Sea TurtlesInvade to beach to lay eggs.Locals invade the eggs."

"To deny that there was this dark side of life would be like pretending that the cold of winter was somehow only a temporary illusion, a way station on the way to the higher "reality"of long, warm, pleasant summers. But summer, it turned out, was no more real than the snow that melted in wintertime."

"Networking isn’t synonymous with partying. If you’re doing it right, partying seems libraryesque in comparison."

"Who we were and who we are are four different people, and the me from now doesn't relate to the me from then, let alone to the you from now."

"If I could convert books to wine, I’d start with The Grapes of Wrath. I’ve never read it, but maybe tonight I’ll be thirsty enough."

"Life always begins with triumph but tends to end with tragedy."

"We are given to the great, for great purpose, to great ends. We are given to the grave, for grave purposes, to grave ends."

"And meanwhile time goes about its immemorial work of making everyone look and feel like shit."

"Love, like everything else in life, should be a discovery, an adventure, and like most adventures, you don’t know you’re having one until you’re right in the middle of it."

"We never realize just how many other lives we can help when their paths cross our own."

"Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you."
