Robert Jordan Quotes

I never lie down at night without reflecting that, young as I am, I may not live to see another day.

Death can come at any moment. You could die this afternoon; you could die tomorrow morning; you could die on your way to work; you could die in your sleep.

Can we relate to one another as if there were no tomorrow?

Our youth we can have but to-day, We may always find time to grow old.

I live my life until there's no more living to be done. Because you never know when it's going to stop. Wake up tomorrow and it could all be gone, bro. All the cars, all the motorcycles, everything.
