6. Love always wins.
7. The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it.
8. So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things.

10.  The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.
11. Love is the only rational act.
12.  I don’t allow myself any more self-pity than that. A little each morning, a few tears, and that’s all . It’s horrible to watch my body slowly wilt away to nothing. But it’s also wonderful because of all the time I get to say goodbye.

18.  Don’t cling to things, because everything is impermanent.
19.  If you’ve found meaning in your life you don’t want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do more. You can’t wait until sixty-five.

21.  Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.
