"In human relationships, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths."
There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion.
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.
