“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,

Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
― William W. Purkey

“We laugh at others and we don't realize that someone will be just as justified in laughing at us on some not too remote day”

“That message is simple: When you come to one of the many moments in life when you must give an account of yourself, provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray, discount that you filled a dying man’s days with a sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years, a joy that does not hunger for more and more, but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing.”
― Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air
