<p>For if there is any single thing that everyone hopes for most dearly$$$ it must be this: that the youngest outlive the oldest.</p>

<p>It's surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.</p>

<p>I walked away a little disheartened$$$ thinking$$$ "Oh well. I came a long way to meet the Wizard of Oz$$$ but I guess I won't. Such is life."</p>

<p>A pain stabbed my heart$$$ as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going the opposite direction in this too-big world.</p>

<p>I find as I grow older$$$ I love those most$$$ whom I loved first.</p>

<p>Who lives longer? The man who takes heroin for two years and dies$$$ or a man who lives on roast beef$$$ water and potatoes 'till 95? One passes his 24 months in eternity. All the years of the beefeater are lived only in time.</p>

<p>There's not a word yet$$$ for old friends who've just met.</p>

<p>I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die$$$ so let me live my life the way I want to.</p>

<p>Any man's life$$$ told truly$$$ is a novel...</p>

<p>What is your greatest ambition in life? To become immortal... and then die.</p>
