Well, the truth is, if you really listen to that bird on your shoulder, if you accept that you can die at any time–then you might not be as ambitious as you are.

There is no experience like having children...If you want the experience of having complete responsibility for another human being, and to learn to love and bond in the deepest way, then you should have children.

As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on—in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here

Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it.

When you look at it that way, you can see how absurd it is that we individualize ourselves with our fences and hoarded possessions.

It's not too late to develop new friendships or reconnect with people.

Life is like a wrestling match- we struggle to fight but we never know that the only side that wins is the one with great love in it.
