Grieve and mourn for yourself not once or twice, but again and again.

I believe in being fully present. That means you should be with the person you’re with.

One hundred and ten years from now no one who is here now will be alive.

If the culture doesn't work, don't buy it.

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 formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like. In business, people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Maybe you’re too used to that. Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned about someone else’s situation as you are about your own.

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