All my life I've been taught how to die, but no one ever taught me how to grow old.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My old man taught me a lot of stuff in his death that I don't even know if he would have been able to teach me had he been alive. And that was to never do stuff that can jeopardize the people you love and hurt them.
It's terrible to realize you don't learn how to live until you're ready to die, and then it's too late.
I think that nothing teaches you more about life than death and dying.
I'm not sure I've learned anything new about life; but I've had to think harder about death and what comes after for other people.
Life is about learning; when you stop learning, you die.
Those who learned to know death, rather than to fear and fight it, become our teachers about life.
When I was growing up and trying to get my foot on the ladder, I had the self-belief that my mother taught me, and it never occurred to me that anything could go wrong. I've learned life can't be like that.
Here I am trying to live, or rather, I am trying to teach the death within me how to live.
I was born to be a teacher, and I'll die a teacher.
I am too old to die young, and too young to grow up.
