When I was in the Far East, I was asked not to mention the Big Crunch, because of the effect it might have on the market. But the markets crashed, so maybe the story got out somehow. In Britain, people don't seem too worried about a possible end twenty billion years in the future. You can do quite a lot of eating, drinking and being merry before that.

The idea of decimation as a lottery converts the new iconography of the Burgess Shale into a radical view about the pathways of life and the nature of history. ... May our poor and improbable species find joy in its new-found fragility and good fortune! Wouldn't anyone with the slightest sense of adventure, or the most weakly flickering respect for intellect, gladly exchange the old cosmic comfort for a look at something so weird and wonderful - yet so real - as *Opabinia*?

Life is a memory, then it is nothing. All law is writ in a seed.

Time is your acquaintance. Life is your friend. Death is your opponent. Eternity is your companion.

Life is short, death is long, days are narrow, and years are wide.

Sometimes you will never know the value of something,until it becomes a memory.

If all life moves inevitably towards its end, then we must, during our own, colour it with our colours of love and hope.

You can't control the length of your life. You can control the depth.

Life is short. Make the most of it. Put God first. Love deeply. Forgive quickly. Laugh a lot. Find and live out your purpose.

No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate, and love is now.

Enjoy every minute you have with those you love, my dear, for no one can take joy that is past away from you. It will be there in your heart to live on when the dark days come.
