Brandon Boyd Quotes

There's something about knowing life is finite that makes it so precious.

Dogs are a really amazing eye opener for us humans because their lives are compressed into such a short period, so we can see them go from puppyhood to adolescence to strong adulthood and then into their sunset years in 10 to 12 years. It really drives home the point of how finite all our lives are.

I enjoy every moment because I believe that once we die, that's it. We're not coming back.

Death is important for a couple reasons. The first is that death creates scarcity in our life, which therefore gives our decisions meaning and value. From a practical point of view, it therefore makes sense that we keep our own deaths in mind when deciding how to use our time.

Death is not the enemy of life, but its friend, for it is the knowledge that our years are limited which makes them so precious. It is the truth that time is but lent to us which makes us, at our best, look upon our years as a trust handed into our temporary keeping.

What makes life valuable is that it doesn't last forever.

Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.

There's nothing glamorous about being dead.

I think you just have to accept the fact that no one lives forever, and eventually things are going to come to an end, whether it's a TV show or life.

I often feel that life is about to begin, only to realize it is almost over.

Life is short and progress is slow.

I used to believe I was going to live forever. And then you suddenly become aware that you're not.

As much as we'd like to think life is sacred, there's not a lot of evidence for that. The universe is maddeningly casual, giving and taking it.

Life passes into pages if it passes into anything.

Do every act of your life as if it were your last.

You only live a short time... and you are dead a long time.

Life is much shorter than I imagined it to be.

Death is like taking an intermission when you can't come back. I like living and being around.

Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.

Tomorrow is not promised to any of us.

Mortality defines the human condition.

In the long run we are all dead.

Time is infinite, but we are not infinite in it.

Death does determine life.

But at my back I always hear Time's winged chariot hurrying near.
