Do You Realize
That everyone you know
Someday will die
And instead of saying
All of your goodbyes
Let them know you realize
That life goes fast

The good things last

It’s just an illusion caused
by the world spinning round. — The Flaming Lips, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Album

To him a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create–so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out his creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency, he is not really alive unless he is creating. — Pearl Buck
