“There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death. They don't honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. They shit them away. Dumb fuckers. They concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. Their minds are full of cotton. They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them. Their brains are stuffed with cotton. They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. Play them the great music of the centuries and they can't hear it. Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.”
― Charles Bukowski

“My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.”
― Orson Welles

“Death always thinks of us eventually. The trick is to find the joy in the interim, and make good use of the days we have.”
― Ann Patchett, These Precious Days: Essays

“Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.”
