Love life, and if despair enters your heart, look for me in the evenings when the wind is gentle and the owls sing in the hills. I shall be with you…” 4. “You can tell ‘em what I say if you wants to. Dat’s just de same as me ‘cause mah tongue is in mah friend’s mouf."  5. “You can’t ever have my books.” 6. “They's a time of change, an' when that comes, dyin' is a piece of all dyin', and bearin' is a piece of all bearin', an bearin' an' dyin' is two pieces of the same thing. An' then things ain't lonely any more.” 7. “Courage, I told myself. And this time, I felt it.” 8. "Without a life… a person lives where they can. If all they got is thoughts, that's where they live." 9. “I’d always be miserable in a city. I’d die of lonesomeness.
