“When it’s over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. When it’s over, I don’t want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don’t want to find myself sighing or frightened, or full of argument. I don’t want to end up having simply visited this world.”- Mary Oliver
