I envied these women I saw before me, their beauty still intact. Life has its revenge of life. Untimely death is the secret of eternal youth.

Happiness is something you lay siege to, it is a battle like a game of go. I will take hold of all the pain and snuff it out.

I notice the silvery hair at his temples with a tinge of sadness. Why do parents grow old? Life is a castle of lies slowly dismantled by the passage of time. I regret not spending more time looking at the people I love.

Dying is so simple. A fleeting moment of suffering. In the blink of an eye you are over the threshold, into another world. No more pain, no more fears. You sleep so well there. Dying is like rubbing snow together, setting fire to a whole winter of cold and ice.

I talk to trees and animals. We have interesting conversations about food, weather, and love. They sometimes can predict the future.

would you dare to love me?

I would like to be a philosopher in ancient Athens and a poet in ancient China.
