Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, and yet everything happens only a certain number of times . How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood that is so deeply a part of your being you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps, twenty. And yet it all seems limitless ~ Paul Bowles' 1949 novel, The Sheltering Sky

What will be left of all the fearing and wanting associated with your problematic life situation that every day takes up most of your attention? A dash, one or two inches long, between the date of birth and date of death on your gravestone ~ Eckhart Tolle

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it ~ Mark Twain

I heard your voice through a photograph

I thought it up and brought up the past

Once you know you can never go back

I gotta take it on the other side ~ Anthony Kiedis
