A life is not a waste of time

Everybody going to be dead one day, just give them time.

We were too greedy, grasping for immortality too soon. Perhaps if we had only been patient, content to wait, we would all have forever in the end.

Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its students."

[Letter, November 1856]

Emotion without reason lets people walk all over you; reason without emotion is a mask for cruelty.

Life isn't static, and sometimes, we don't realize the value of knowledge or even of people, until further down the track, when we're mature enough to truly understand.
