Lilli Palmer

“The only thing that even matters is that when all is said and done, and the cross is over your grave, whether you were 20, or 30 or 70, that someone standing in front of it can say, ‘That person has lived, has missed none of the major joys, and I suppose none of the major sorrows…and she has lain in the arms of a man she loved, and who loved her.’ So many people don’t. And if you were lucky enough to be successful in whatever you were doing, taste success. And taste failure, so that the opposites complement each other.” — Lili Palmer
