Lita Ford Quotes

We die only once, and for such a long time.

Lies here food for the worms yet the work shall not be lost.

From childhood I had never believed in permanence, and yet I had longed for it. Always I was afraid of losing happiness. This month, next year...death was the only absolute value in my world. Lose life and one would lose nothing again forever.

History is a great cemetery: men, deeds, ideas are always dying as soon as they are born.

Be vigilant, for nothing one achieves lasts forever.

All things are only transitory.

'Never' is too much of a word. Nothing lasts forever.

The idea of forever is kind of ridiculous, which is unfortunate because it's kind of a nice thing to say, you know. I think it softens the blow of mortality and having to say goodbye to everything you know and everyone you love and all that kind of thing.
