There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval. You've got to love life to live it. On Love Love is eternal. The aspect may change, but not the essence. There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.
Love is a symbol of eternity.
It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you. If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Everyone carries it alone, his own burden, his own way.
