Quotations
Life
That best portion of a man's life; his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
-William Wordsworth
Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.
-Søren Kierkegaard

-Paulo Coelho
"The Alchemist"
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.
-Emily Dickinson
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
-John Lennon
I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.
