Ram Dass

Similar quotes

We must be content to grow slowly. Most of us will still barely be at the beginning of our recovery by the time we die. But that is better than killing ourselves pretending to be healthy.

Death commences too early - almost before you're half-acquainted with life - you meet the other.

Tennessee Williams

I shall not die of a cold. I shall die of having lived.

Rainer Maria Rilke

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and-in spite of True Romance magazines - we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way.

Hunter S. Thompson
