All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.

How little we know of what there is to know. I wish that I were going to live a long time instead of going to die today because I have learned much about life in these four days; more, I think than in all other time. I'd like to be an old man to really know. I wonder if you keep on learning or if there is only a certain amount each man can understand. I thought I knew so many things that I know nothing of. I wish there was more time.

When you go to war as a boy, you have a great illusion of immortality. Other people get killed, not you... Then, when you are badly wounded the first time, you lose that illusion, and you know it can happen to you.

I went to a Katy Perry concert, and I experienced pure bliss for the first time in my life.

This is the first time in my life I've ever been happy, not completely happy, but happier than I've ever been.

I'm a father myself for the first time in my life, and I had very very loving parents.
