Living on earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun.
I'm still not sure about the meaning of life. Fortunately, this is not a graded essay!
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)
Is there any intelligent life on earth?
Yes, but I am only visiting.
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
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.
Some say life is the thing, but I prefer reading.
(Ruth Rendell)
The best use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts life.
William James
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....
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from it.
William Osler
Life does not cease to be funny when people die
any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
George Bernard Shaw
