“In order to gain something, you have to lose something,” she always said. People are always trying to get something for nothing. But that’s just theft.

In fact, she considered it one of the laws of the universe.”

“Every day people sleep, wake up, work, and eat according to the established set of rules we call time. In other words, we set our lives by the clock. Human beings went through the trouble of inventing rules that imposed limits on their lives, boxing them up into hours, days, and years. And then they invented clocks to make time’s rule over us even more precise.”

“I guess it’s the same with life. We all know it has to end someday, but even so we act as if we’re going to live forever. Like love, life is beautiful
