The human consciousness is really homogeneous. There is no complete forgetting even in death.
Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being which is a passion to live beyond one's death.
Death not merely ends life it also bestows upon it a silent completeness snatched from the hazardous flux to which all things human are subject.
Death is not natural for a state as it is for a human being for whom death is not only necessary but frequently even desirable.
Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever.
Humanity should question itself once more about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war on whose stage of death and pain only remain standing the negotiating table that could and should have prevented it.

But my father was also the one who told me I needed to clean up my mouth or I'd never find a man. What's very important to him is manners. Show up on time. Always send thank-you letters. He is one of the more thoughtful humans I've ever met. He's a great man and a very good dad.
My dad's one of my biggest heroes. I also think Paul Newman's an inspiration. I know a lot of people say that but I love that he's a great role model and a humanitarian. I admire people who don't necessarily want to change the world but try to make it a better environment.
Dad and mom would have preferred that I be a doctor a lawyer a scientist or a great humanitarian.

There can be a fundamental gulf of gracelessness in a human heart which neither our love nor our courage can bridge.
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities - because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
