Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

Each life makes its own immitation of immortality.

Being on tour is like being in limbo. It’s like going from nowhere to nowhere.

Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.

My philosophy in life is, Decide what you want to do. You have to have something to hope for.

What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness.

Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore; only the life I have lived. The pain now is part of the happiness then.

I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality.

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

My favorite thing in life is writing about life, specifically the parts of life concerning love. Because, as far as I’m concerned, love is absolutely everything.

I always knew who I was, and I always ran from my true purpose… I know what my job is. And I always ran from it.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?

The experience of democracy is like the experience of life itself-always changing, infinite in its variety, sometimes turbulent and all the more valuable for having been tested by adversity.

To the wise, life is a problem; to the fool, a solution.
