I'll tell you a big secret mon cher. Don't wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.

N'attendez pas le Jugement dernier. Il a lieu tous les jours.

Another quote about Life

Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.
