Quotes by Toni Jordan

You must know this. People disappear. They just go puff. Thin air. Every time you see someone, you never know if youre seeing them for the last time. Drink them in, Alec. Kiss them. Its very important. Never let anyone say goodbye, even for a little while, without kissing them. Press your lips against the people you love. Hands, they can touch anything. Open doors, hold cameras, hang clothes on the line. Its lips that matter.

People who work out are so gullible. They think theyll live longer. Well, good luck to them. Its a shame most of them arent bright enough to realise that the extra time added to their life when theyre eighty and too old to do anything productive with it is roughly equal to all the time wasted in the gym when theyre young and capable of having fun.

Most people miss their whole lives, you know. Listen, life isnt when you are standing on top of a mountain looking at a sunset. Life isnt waiting at the alter or the moment your child is born or that time you were swimming in a deep water and a dolphin came up alongside you. These are fragments. 10 or 12 grains of sand spread throughout your entire existence. These are not life. Life is brushing your teeth or making a sandwich or watching the news or waiting for the bus. Or walking. Every day, thousands of tiny events happen and if youre not watching, if youre not careful, if you dont capture them and make them COUNT, your could miss it. You could miss your whole life.
