Another wonderful quote from the Alchemist:

Every day was there to be lived or to mark one’s departure from this world. … He had lived every one of his days intensely since he had left home so long ago.  If he died tomorrow, he would already have seen more than other shepherds, and he was proud of that.

Reminds me of Dasvidaniya, even though Dasvidaniya was more about catching up.
