“Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy.”
― W. Somerset Maugham, The Razor’s Edge

“and beware those who
only take
instructions from their
God

for they have
failed completely to live their own
lives.”
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

“The meaning of life is that it ends”
― Franz Kafka

“Look at everything always as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time: Thus is your time on earth filled with glory.”
― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
