• You can not bring back the past. But you certainly can not repeat it. Life is short, even if live to ninety. Live to the fullest - that's how I feel.

• I directed one of my shorts that did festivals around the world, and that was great. I've got a bit of a bug for that now. I just hope I keep challenging myself and keep doing stuff that interests me with people who I respect and who teach me stuff. If I can keep doing that in anything - acting, writing, directing or whatever - I'll do it because life is short.

• For they told you life is hard
  Misery from the start,
  It's dull, it's slow, it's painful
  But I tell you life is sweet
  In spite of the misery
  There's so much more, be grateful
  So, who will you believe
  Who will you listen to
  Who will it be
  'Cause it's high time that you decide
  It's time to make up your own
  Your own state of mind
  Oh they told you life is long
  Be thankful when it's done
  Don't ask for more, be grateful
  But I tell you life is short
  Be thankful because
  Before you know it
  It will be over
  'Cause life is sweet, life is also very short

  Natalie Merchant

• I hear what many of you are saying: We don’t have the time, we are busy. Well Nobody Has Time, Everyone Is Busy. In the time it took you to read this post, your life just got a minute shorter. That is precisely why we read (and why some of us write): because life is short and finite, we want more, and literature is the distillation of all those lives we will not lead.
