What should I say about life? That it's long and abhors transparence.
Joseph Brodsky

When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.
John Dryden

When I hear somebody sigh that ''Life is hard,'' I am always tempted to ask, ''Compared to what?''
Sidney J. Harris
|
|
When I stand before thee at the day's end, thou shalt see my scars and know that I had my wounds and also my healing.
Rabindranath Tagore
|
|
When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
|
|
When one subtracts from life infancy (which is vegetation), sleep, eating and swilling, buttoning and unbuttoning -- how much remains of downright existence? The summer of a dormouse.
Lord Byron
|
|
When we speak the word ''life,'' it must be understood we are not referring to life as we know it from its surface of fact, but to that fragile, fluctuating center which forms never reach.
Antonin Artaud

|
Where there is life there is wishful thinking.
Gerald F. Lieberman

Why does life keep teaching me lessons I have no desire to learn?
Ashleigh Brilliant

Without fullness of experience, length of days is nothing. When fullness of life has been achieved, shortness of days is nothing. That is perhaps why the young have usually so little fear of death; they live by intensities that the elderly have forgotten.
Lewis Mumford

You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.
Epictetus

You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can decide how you're going to live now.
Joan Baez

You have to do what you love to do, not get stuck in that comfort zone of a regular job. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.
Lucinda Basset

You live in a deranged age, more deranged that usual, because in spite of great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.
Walker Percy
|
|
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

You only live once -- but if you work it right, once is enough.
Joe E. Lewis

|
Young people talk of what they are doing; old people of what they have done; and fools of what they have a mind to do.
Proverb
|
|
Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love.
Frederick Buechner
