“When something is at its best, you should enjoy it as long as possible. If you are already thinking about the end, you bring the end into the now, how stupid is that? When something is beautiful, the wise person enjoys the moment as long as it lasts. When it’s over, it’s over, but I don’t end it prematurely to get ahead of the end. That’s like hanging myself early so I don’t have to die.”

Do you know what he wanted inscribed on his tombstone?” “Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water,” she quoted.”
