All younger people should know something. If you’re always battling against getting older, you’re always going to be unhappy, because it will happen anyhow.

After you have wept and grieved for your physical losses, cherish the functions and the life you have left.

Although you may be old or sick, it's not too late to take stock and ask yourself if you really are the person you want to be, and if not, who you do want to be.

Do I wither up and disappear, or do I make the best of my time left?

Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too - even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling.

And, in addition to all the miseries, the young are not wise. They have very little understanding about life. Who wants to live every day when you don't know what's going on? When people are manipulating you, telling you to buy this perfume and you'll be beautiful, or this pair of jeans and you'll be sexy-and you believe them! It's such nonsense.

Everything that gets born dies.
