Millions of people die every day. Everyone’s got to go sometime.

Every parting gives a foretaste of death, every reunion a hint of the resurrection.

Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies.

Sometimes, you might meet somebody that you love that’s turning into a ‚they.‘ My key is invite them to Miami and take them to the ocean and let them jump off the boat in the ocean, on the sand bar, and cleanse off and pray and then go take a shower, and hopefully the ‚they‘ is out of you.

Death means change our clothes. Clothes become old, then time to come change. So this body become old, and then time come, take young body.

We forge the chains we wear in life.

Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.

We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.

I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about dying, but I like to think that I’ve – if it did occur – that I would die peacefully and not make too much of a fuss about it.

What’s done can’t be undone.

I accept chaos, I’m not sure whether it accepts me.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what life brings to me.

I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it’s not always in the way you expect. God knows what’s best for us, though, so there’s no need to worry when things don’t go how we originally wanted them to go.

It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.

Life’s like a play: it’s not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.

There’s an ecstatic side to writing. It’s like jazz. It just has a life.

It is not only the living who are killed in war.

If you don’t live your life, then who will?

Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one’s life.

All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.

As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what can you do?

Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world.

I always wished for this, but it’s almost turning into more of a nightmare than a dream.

Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time.

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

My life has been one great big joke, a dance that’s walked a song that’s spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.

We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end.

Lord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.

Whatever has happened in my quest for innovation has been part of my quest for immaculate reality.

It’s not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us; it’s the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.

I still live, I still think: I still have to live, for I still have to think.

The spiritual is the parent of the practical.

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

I’ve got all the money I’ll ever need, if I die by four o’clock.

A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.

How can you prove whether at this moment we are sleeping, and all our thoughts are a dream; or whether we are awake, and talking to one another in the waking state?

Existence really is an imperfect tense that never becomes a present.

Biography lends to death a new terror.

What we live by we die by.

Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.

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

I’m not somebody that thinks about destiny and fate, but I don’t walk away from it when something unfolds.

One has children in the expectation of dying before them. In fact, you want to make damn sure you die before them, just as you plant a tree or build a house knowing, hoping that it will outlive you. That’s how the human species has done as well as it has.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

I’ve reached the point where I hardly care whether I live or die. The world will keep on turning without me, and I can’t do anything to change events anyway.

Children make your life important.

I’m never going to be fast, and nobody will ever mistake me for being fast.

Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life – in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a color.

Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.

Friends accept you the way you are.

For this generation, ours, life is nuclear survival, liberty is human rights, the pursuit of happiness is a planet whose resources are devoted to the physical and spiritual nourishment of its inhabitants.

I’m not afraid to die, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.

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.

Without music, life would be a mistake.
