    C'mon. with a thread title like that you have to expect this kind of thing.

    We May Never Pass This Way Again - Seals and Crofts
    (Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1973)

    Life, so they say, is but a game and we let it slip away.
    Love, like the Autumn sun, should be dyin' but it's only just begun.
    Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don't see just where we're goin'.
    And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears
    And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up.
    We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
    We may never pass this way again.

    Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let 'em drift away.
    Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin' but it's only just begun.
    Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage.
    Sail our ships out on the open sea. Cast away our fears
    And all the years will come and go, and take us up, always up.
    We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
    We may never pass this way again.

    So, I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy. I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile.
    We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you.
    'Cause, you make me feel like I'm more than a friend. Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end.
    We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you, baby.

    We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
    We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.

    The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and when they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." -- Bill Hicks.

    If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

    You're going to have to be more specific!

    Like, say for example you're talking about school, best days of your life, but it has to end, and life does move on wheter you like it or not...are you looking for a tragic inevitability?

    Or are you looking for something great that happend and can never be achieved again and fondly reflecting although aknowledging it's over, or aspiring to repeating?

    Anyway, in the meantime, here's a my quote:

    "Life may not always work out how you want it to. We would wish for sunny days every day, but eventually we would die of drought" - Unknown

    "Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." - Henry David Thoreau
