If you're in your 20s now, by the time you're 75, you'll be able to live 'til you're 150. By the time you're 150 you'll be able to live 'til you're 300. See you at your 1000th birthday party!

If there is anything that mortals and immortals share in common, it is that there is nothing of greater importance for both of them, than to live fully in the present moment.

Memory haunts me from age to age, and passion leads me by the hand--evil have I done, and with sorrow have I made acquaintance from age to age, and from age to age evil shall I do, and sorrow shall I know till my redemption comes.

I have always wished the present to resemble memory: because the present can be flat at times, and bald as a road. But memory is never like that. It makes hills of feeling in collapsed hours, a scene of enclosure made all precious by its frame.

We fall back into the past, we jump ahead into the future, and in this we lose our entire lives.

Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love.
