Do not act as if you had ten thousand years to throw away. Death stands at your elbow. Be good for something while you live and it is in your power.

Marcus Aurelius

This house sheltered us, we spoke, we loved within those walls. That was yesterday. To-day we pass on, we see it no more, and we are different, changed in some infinitesimal way. We can never be quite the same again.

Daphne du Maurier

You know, people speak in poetry all the time. They just don't realize it.

Sherman Alexie

Going home and spending time with your family and your real friends keeps you grounded.
