When people's emotions are involved they don't want to listen.

And marking off time struck me as something like counting empty spaces—spaces you know can't ever be filled.

Keep in mind that life produces no maestros, only students of varying shades of ineptitude.

It seems to me that a man who is incapable of humor is capable of cruelty.

And taking care of somebody else made me feel good. Like discovering you're more than you thought you were. More even than you hoped to be.

Even if you forget everything else I want you to always remember that you are a person of value, and you have a friend who loved you enough to give you his most valued possession.

Longevity can't be the only test of love.
