Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.

If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.
