"Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious." ― Brendan Gill Topic(s): Life More In Life "The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them… Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will."― Michel de Montaigne "Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life."― Pythagoras "Perhaps, all writers walk such a line. In general – as we all do in our dreams – I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels, male as well as female."― Rose Tremain
