Quote by Seneca

“Consider the whole world reconnoitre individuals j who is there whose life is not taken up with providing for to morrow Do you ask what harm there is in this An infinite deal for such men do not live but are about to live they defer every thing from day to day however circumspect we are life will still outrun us.”

“Life’s nothing but saying good-bye, if you care to look at it that way.” “Oh god,” I say with a shiver. “I don’t.” “Me, either, but sometimes you can’t seen any alternative.” “So then what do you do?” “What I do is try to stick myself into it more. If I’m the one who has to let go, then I try to do it, not have it done to me. It doesn’t hurt as much that way, plus you can learn something in the process.” “I Guess.” “Not that learning something does you any good next time. You think it will but it doesn’t. Oh, honey, we just have to go through it all.”

“I hear voices in my head of people screaming and crying for help. I feel haunted by looking at my own reflection in the mirror sometimes. When I look at other people, I feel pangs of grief, a beautiful life wasted so short and then I think of my own self and find no greater difference. We all are living what we don't know, why we don't want to answer that. I feel comfort in the deep sleep though only for short time because as soon I wake up and look around I find myself back in the same world. Dying.”
