Don't tell me that you have exhausted Life. When a man says that one knows that Life has exhausted him.
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.
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.
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!
