‘You must try to overcome your grief; if not, it will overcome you. It will consume you completely, for you are not invincible.

For today is your day: tomorrow belongs to death, and to death alone.

‘You must treat life as though this were your first day and also your last. Behave as though death were at your door this very moment; then, when death does arrive, you will have no fear. For only those who “die” before they die may hope to escape death’s jaws.’
