Let yourself learn, live and love. The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. Pretty much all the honest truth-telling there is in the world is done by children. Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him, and to let him know that you trust him. Learn as if you were to live forever.
All life is an experiment.
The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live. When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. The talking of the soul with itself. A poet is someone who is astonished by everything. To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
