I was never afraid of failure after that because, I think, coming that close to death you get kissed. With the years, the actual experience of course fades, but the flavor of it doesnt. I just had a real sense of what choice do I have but to live fully? – Debra Winger
Man is born in a day, and he dies in a day, and the thing is easily over but to have a sick heart for three-fourths of ones lifetime is simply to have death renewed every morning and life at that price is not worth living. – Gilbert Parker
Therefore all seasons shall be sweet to thee, Whether the summer clothe the general earth With greenness, or the redbreast sit and sing Betwixt the tufts of snow on the bare branch Of mossy apple tree. – Samuel Taylor Coleridge
