I could never forget you, Meggie, not as long as I live. And for my punishment I’m going to live a long, long time.
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.
I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count.
I know a planet where there is a certain red-faced gentleman.He has never smelled a flower.
He has never looked at a star.
He has never loved any one.
He has never done anything in his life but add up figures.
And all day he says over and over, just like you:
'I am busy with matters of consequence!'
And that makes him swell up with pride.
But he is not a man — he is a mushroom!

I think that one of these days, you're going to have to find out where you want to go. And then you've got to start going there.But immediately.You can't afford to lose a minute.Not you.
But here's the truth: sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
