You are seeing me now, when I am old and ugly; you should have seen me then, when I was young and ugly. — © Zohra Sehgal
You are seeing me now, when I am old and ugly; you should have seen me then, when I was young and ugly.
I am preparing myself for death. When I go to sleep, I try to keep myself smiling. So that when I die, I have a smile on my lips. I want an electric cremation. I don't want any poems or fuss after that. And for heaven's sake, don't bring back my ashes. Flush them down the toilet if the crematorium refuses to keep them. If they tell you that I am dead, I want you to give a big laugh.
Life, this endless conversation with yourself. Silent in sanity, audible in madness.
