Quotations
Life
That best portion of a man's life; his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
-William Wordsworth
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
-Paulo Coelho
