Neil Gaiman: "That's the trouble with living things. Don't last very long. Kittens one day, old cats the next."

If you find happiness only in certain moments; moments of achievement, rest, reward, or pleasure, then most of your life will be unhappy. If you find happiness in every moment; even moments that others may see as boring, average, frustrating, or challenging, then your life will be lived Happily in Every Moment Ever After.

We shouldn't live as if death mattered more than life.

You were given this life because you were strong enough to appreciate it.
