Not many need to die, but those who rush to death, committed to nothing.

... I sat on the floor beside him, dreaming about having a heart attack or fainting - only to shy away from this inevitable step.

Turns out I had completely forgotten that I - man! I felt a great sadness and I started crying.

- ... you're too focused on yourself, that's your problem. It wears you out.
<...>
Look for the miracles around you! Are you tired of looking for one himself, and fatigue makes you blind and deaf to everything around him.

First, we learn to think of everything, and then learn to look at things the way we think about them.

We choose only once. We choose to be a warrior or to be a normal person. Choice simply does not exist. Not on this earth.

What you're doing at the moment may be your last act on earth. In the world there is no force that could guarantee you that you will live at least another minute.

When we see the world through the eyes of love, he reveals to us their best side.

- I'm always trying to live by your advice, ' I said. - Maybe I don't always succeed, but I'm doing everything I can. Can we call it perfection?
- No. You should do something more. You have to constantly outdo himself.

Impeccability is to do the best I can, what all are you involved.

Man lives only in order to learn, and what he is learning - good or bad - depends on its nature and its destiny.

We are business people, we used to invest their funds, used to reduce their losses, we conduct ourselves in this world as in the market. But if we "invest in something means", we wish to have guarantees. We are ready to fall in love, but only if it is mutual. If we'd fallen out, we're cutting one link and replace it with another. What we call love is just hysterical. We can not be called passionate creatures, heartless, Yes. I thought that I know how to love, but don Juan once said to me:
"Well, how would you know that? You're never taught what love is. You were taught how to seduce, as to envy, to hate you and love you taught. You have the guts to love so... you think you Could love forever, that love remained, and beyond the borders of death? Just like that, without all sorts of "attachments"? You never know what it means to love like this without any self-pity. And do you really want to die without knowing it?"

You need to look and see the wonders that is around you. You will die from fatigue, not interested in anything except himself; from this, the fatigue you are deaf and blind to everything else.

The awareness of our death is the only thing that will give us the strength to carry the weight and pain of our lives and fear of the unknown.
