Why had he never appreciated what a miracle he was, brain and nerve and bounding heart?...
It was not, after all, so easy to die. Every second he breathed, the smell of the grass, the cool air on his face, was so precious: To think that people had years and years, time to waste, so much time it dragged, and he was clinging to each second. At the same time he thought he would not be able to go on, and knew that he must..."

I have a new one now, "It is true that the clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society"- Mark Twain.
some of my favorites:

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference (Robert Frost)
2) We must struggle for our dreams, but we must also know that, when certain paths prove impossible, it would be best to save our energies in order to travel other roads (Paulo Quilho)
3) The optimist and the pessimist both die in the end, but each lives his life in a completely different way (Shimon Peres)
So what's the glory in living?

And if love never last forever,
tell me... what's forever for? -Billy Gilman

"Sitting in the studyhall he opened the lid of his desk and changed the number pasted up inside from seventy-seven to seventysix. But the Christmas vacation was very far away: but one time it would come because the earth moved round always." - A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

And the white rose weeps, "She is late;"
The larkspur listens, "I hear, I hear;"
And the lily whispers, "I wait." - Tennyson

"Nothing is funnier than unhappiness. Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't laugh any more." - Samuel Beckett
