“Life is for the living.
Death is for the dead.
Let life be like music.
And death a note unsaid.”
― The Collected Poems

“I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.”

“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.
"Augustus," I said.
"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”

“Standing at the edge of time
Almost falling down to the dark abyss
As I near the end of mine
I reminisce the things I will miss
The smiles and laughter
Running around without a care
The time when my grin will never falter
Being so free, willing my soul to bare
Heartaches, heartbreaks and tears
Now I know better and to myself I will never lie
Because in woe, I learned to love and never fear
Those were the best and worst moments of my life
As the memories rush back to me
I look down and now I feel relieved
Because when it is time
Everything will be fine when I leave”
