Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

“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

“What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“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”
― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
