Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.

Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you’re aboard, there’s nothing you can do.

When Clark Gable died, I cried for 2 days straight. I couldn’t eat or sleep.

It always seems to me so odd that when a man dies, he takes out with him all the knowledge that he has got in his lifetime whilst sowing his wild oats or winning successes. And he leaves his sons or younger brothers to go through all the work of learning it over again from their own experience.

I’ve had some dark nights of the soul, of course, but giving in to depression would be a sellout, a defeat.

Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.

Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.

Life is so short. I would rather sing one song than interpret the thousand.

Man weeps to think that he will die so soon; woman, that she was born so long ago.

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

You’re going to die. You’re going to be dead. It could be 20 years, it could be tomorrow, anytime. So am I. I mean, we’re just going to be gone. The world’s going to go on without us. All right now. You do your job in the face of that, and how seriously you take yourself you decide for yourself.

The ‚morality of compromise‘ sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don’t compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

Death is just life’s next big adventure.

The lies of the empire and the treason of the quislings shall be defeated.

‚Pure experience‘ is the name I gave to the immediate flux of life which furnishes the material to our later reflection with its conceptual categories.

Most of one’s life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.

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

Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.

I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.

I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I’ve done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?

Old age is just a record of one’s whole life.

There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

When good Americans die they go to Paris.

My life is my message.

It is natural to die as to be born.

Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point.

Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!

If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

The loss of life will be irreplaceable.

Modern science says: ‚The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.‘ From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.

I’ve been fortunate to have had the life I had prior to Hollywood. I wasn’t starving; I was going to eat the next day.

If we don’t know life, how can we know death?

Even today we raise our hand against our brother… We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.

There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.

It’s life isn’t it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.

True virtue is life under the direction of reason.

I look forward to death with great anticipation, to meeting God face to face.

Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story, but music sometimes, just music itself, can turn into more of a maths problem. I guess everything in life is a math problem, but it can be more about an empirical route to getting the symmetry that you want, and this vibe, sonically.

Life is our dictionary.

The momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil.

Life is precious.

Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to preserve it. Has it ever been said that a man who throws himself out the window to escape from a fire is guilty of suicide?

Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.

Once we have a war there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war.

The spiritual is the parent of the practical.

The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.

I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe.

People think, because we’re young, we aren’t complex, but that’s not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might.

Obviously, there’s a part of me that takes the world of violence and death very seriously. However, when it comes to protection, or when it comes to just the skill of shooting… I’ve gone to the range with sniper rifles and things like that.

My other brother-in-law died. He was a karate expert, then joined the army. The first time he saluted, he killed himself.

It is only a man’s own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else’s meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.

The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

Some people take defeat and losses a certain way. You see how some fighters take losses.

Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith.

The union of the Word and the Mind produces that mystery which is called Life… Learn deeply of the Mind and its mystery, for therein lies the secret of immortality.

There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.

Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.
