I have such incredible experiences in my life.

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

I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you different.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome.

I’ve made money, and I’ve been ripped off. I’ve had creative freedom, and I’ve been pressured to make hits. I have dealt with diva behavior from crazy musicians, and I have seen genius records by wonderful artists get completely ignored. I love music. I always will.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

Life is an ordeal, albeit an exciting one, but I wouldn’t trade it for the good old days of poverty and obscurity.

We never live; we are always in the expectation of living.

If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.

I do think there must be some kind of interaction between your living life and the life that goes on from here.

Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.

Death is not the worst that can happen to men.

For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

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

Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.

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 think Bible principles are principles for life.

We forge the chains we wear in life.

Life is a constant oscillation between the sharp horns of dilemmas.

Life is just one damned thing after another.

You are doomed to make choices. This is life’s greatest paradox.

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

And die of nothing but a rage to live.

Human life is everywhere a state in which much is to be endured, and little to be enjoyed.

My childhood did not prepare me for the fact that the world is full of cruel and bitter things.

The choicest pleasures of life lie within the ring of moderation.

All that seems indispensible in stating the account between the dead and the living, is to see that the debts against the latter do not exceed the advances made by the former.

People who don’t like my work say that the connections seem too arbitrary. But that’s how life is.

Everybody’s youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness.

Our words will either bring life and victory or death and destruction. If we want to be happy, we have to be serious about speaking words of life that line up with God’s Word.

Next to knowing when to seize an opportunity, the most important thing in life is to know when to forego an advantage.

I am 55 years old now. It takes three years to write one book. I don’t know how many books I will be able to write before I die. It is like a countdown. So with each book I am praying – please let me live until I am finished.

Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy.

I spent more time on dark ships in danger zones than any other woman in the world.

The astronomer will believe that the most erratic comet will yet accomplish its journey and revisit our sphere; but we give up those for lost who have not wandered one-half the distance from the centre of light and life.

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

My life is my argument.

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

The great quest of life has always been to discover truth.

Many people are alive but don’t touch the miracle of being alive.

Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.

The only length of life that seems to satisfy the longings of the human heart is life everlasting.

The mind of a 19-year-old is very different from the mind of a 26-year-old. You grow. You get into better relationships. You experience more, meet more people, better people. But when you’re in a dark hole at an earlier point in your life – you write about the mindset you’re in at that moment.

Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms – in themselves such judgments are stupidities.

For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life.

I’m here as a product of process of evolution, which doesn’t make very many exceptions. And which rates life relatively cheaply.

There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.

Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is continually fearing that you’ll make one.

When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.

One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one’s death, one dies one’s life.

Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.

Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you’d never complete your life, would you? You’d never wholly know you.

Chance is an element of life. What I try to do is study what I call the mechanics of reality as carefully as I can.

The aim of life is appreciation; there is no sense in not appreciating things; and there is no sense in having more of them if you have less appreciation of them.

Art’s everything we hope life would be, a lot of times.

There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart’s desire. The other is to gain it.

I have lived long enough to satisfy both nature and glory.
