Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
(George Bernard Shaw)
Living on earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun.
Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
(Eleanor Roosevelt)
LIFE! I know not what thou art,
But know that thou and I must part;
And when, or how, or where we met,
I own to me 's a secret yet.
But this I know, when thou art fled,
Where'er they lay these limbs, this head,
No clod so valueless shall be
As all that then remains of me.
---------- Anna Lætitia Barbauld. 1743–1825
Is there any intelligent life on earth?
Yes, but I am only visiting.
I wonder what it was in Emily Dickinson's life that made her think that parting partook of heaven especially if she was talking about the final parting of death, which I assume she was.
For me, another great poet, Goethe, was nearer the mark, when he said that we must always be careful for every parting with those we love contains within it the seeds of madness....
When it comes time to cash in that Ninth Life, I hope I will be in the sea. Man is a fish in exile. To become part of a kaleidoscopically dazzling coral reef certainly seems preferable to becoming food for worms in a city cemetery or burning in a crematory oven for an hour and a half.
Life does not cease to be funny when people die
any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm still not sure about the meaning of life. Fortunately, this is not a graded essay!
The best use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts life.
William James
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)
