" You've got to use every moment. Because in the blink of an eye it's past you, and you never get your time again.
Forgive me, Grace, Charlotte said smiling, but I think that's rubbish. I believe we meet our times with our full and ready selves at whatever ages we are when the times happen to us. That's what it's all about. "
