“Behold as you pass by,
As you are now I once was,
As you are now so you bust be,
Prepare for death and fallow me.”
-Unknown
“We may forget what is in our minds but we’ll never forget what is out hearts.”
-Unknown
“There is no crying. You are not a child. You lost your childhood when you knew you were going to die.”
-Strangeland, “Captain Howdy”
I really like all these quotes because they really inspire me to cherish my teenage years and really love my life. They may seem a little scary to you but they’re a lot better than the mushy gushy ones people usually pick out. Gross. The first quote came from a grave stone somewhere in cowsvill. I don’t know very much about it because I heard out this quote in American History class. It’s basically that person calling out to whoever is passing by their grave to say “Hey I existed! Remember this and know it was me.” All each of really want in life is to be remembered, we live on through others memories. The second quote I also got from American History class. It’s pretty much the same concept, except that it’s not talking about memory. It’s more a lot the lines of if you knew that person and took them into their heart; it’s not going to be easy to forget them. So that’s kind of a goal for me. I want to be remembered we all do. The third and final quote is more about cherishing the time you have. Our lives go by so fast and we have to spend that time with people who are valuable to us.
