My most important problem was destroying the lines of demarcation that separate what seems real from what seems fantastic.

The people one loves should take all their things with them when they die.

There's no greater misfortune than dying alone.

The only Virgos left in the world are people like you who were born in August.

Age isn't how old you are but how old you feel.

If I knew that today would be the last time I’d see you, I would hug you tight and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.

Your first realization when you become an important person is that all day and all night, whatever the circumstances, people want to hear you talk about yourself.
