Montgomery Clift Quotes

Take no moment for granted.

Death seems to be a long way off. Is this not shallow thinking? It is worthless and is only a joke within a dream. It will not do to think in such a way and be negligent. Insofar as death is always at one's door, one should make sufficient effort and act quickly.

The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.

Life is about now - some things are just too important to miss.

Are you here to experience life or think about it?

We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don't complain. Don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day.
