Living the Dash....

Some thoughts on life and death...

"Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives." Alan Sachs

"I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending, that haunts our sleep so much as the fear ... that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived." Harold Kushner

"I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well." Diane Ackerman

"Guard well your spare moments. they are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life." Ralph Waldo Emerson.
