Promise me you’ll never forget me because if I thought you would, I’d never leave.
—Winnie the Pooh
Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.
—Will Rogers
Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.
—George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)
When I was fourteen, Death came to my bedside and I said, “Please wait till after my recital on Sunday.” When I was twenty-four, Death came behind me at my desk and I said, “Please wait till I finish the book I have been writ- ing.” When I was forty-four, Death came again and I said, “Please wait till I finish this chapter.” When I was fifty-four, Death returned and I said, “Please let me fin- ish this paragraph.” When I was sixty-four, I said to Death, “Please let me finish this sentence.” When Death returns, I’ll say, “Please, one more word.”
