If you live a life of make-believe your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me sailing the open ocean is a real challenge because it's life or death.

Prohibit the taking of omens and do away with superstitious doubts. Then until death itself comes no calamity need be feared.

There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.

Death comes to all but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.

Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them.

The woman I am currently crazy about was a vegetarian for a year until I started dating her. As is the case with most vegetarians she had never eaten properly prepared meat only commercially packaged or otherwise abused flesh.

No one knew me until I met my wife Lulu. Lulu's mother used to ask Which one is Maurice? For six months she thought Lulu was dating Barry.

I don't really believe in rules but I do like old-fashioned dating where you don't call the guy until he calls you. I don't think it's like he's got to do this and that's the rule.

You are not alone with a guy until you are a proper age. You don't go to certain levels with men until you are married or you have a certain relationship.

My dad and mom divorced when I was around ten and I didn't live with him after that though he was close by and we saw each other weekly. I wasn't really aware that he was a writer I didn't start reading his writing until I was about fifteen. It occurred to me then that my dad was kind of special he's still one of my favorite writers.
