You live but once; you might as well be amusing.

Life is either a great adventure or nothing.
-Helen Keller
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.
-Julian Barnes
"Flaubert's Parrot"
But how could you live and have no story to tell?
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
"White Nights"
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
-Paulo Coelho
The closer we come to death, the more important becomes this single indispensable thing called life.
-Leo Tolstoy
This new life is endless, and even after my physical death it will be kept alive by those who live the life of complete renunciation of falsehood, lies, hatred, anger, greed and lust and who, to accomplish all this, do no lustful actions, do no harm to anyone.
It is a good practice to set apart at least one day in a year for the remembrance of one’s near and dear relatives, friends and learned people that are no more in keeping with our traditions; giving a new orientation to and infusing new life into practices that have become lifeless and meaningless to many.
Life should be full of colours! And each colour is meant to be seen and enjoyed separately, for if seen all mixed together, they will appear all black. Similarly, in life, different roles played by the same person should exist peacefully and distinctly inside him. Lift your spirit with the joy of colour.
My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
