You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
The closer we come to death, the more important becomes this single indispensable thing called life.
-Leo Tolstoy
I believe when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade...and try to find someone whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.
-Ron White
Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life.
-Natalie Babbitt
"Tuck Everlasting"
The evil ruler spoils the word, the plan of life, by his teachings. He, indeed, deprives me of the exalted goal of good thought. With the word of my spirit, I pray to You, O Wise One, and to truth!
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.
-Helen Keller
To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.
He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave.
-Garth Stein
"The Art of Racing in the Rain"
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
-John Lennon
