Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.

The truth is you don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.

We are born, so to speak, twice over; born into existence, and born into life; born a human being, and born a man.

I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.

The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.

Life loves the liver of it.

I believe life is an intelligent thing: that things aren’t random.

Actor’s life is very long.

This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.

And die of nothing but a rage to live.

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

Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell.

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.

Life being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books.

Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

Life can be boring unless you put some effort into it.

Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.

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.

The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life.

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

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.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

Nothing on this earth is standing still. It’s either growing or it’s dying. No matter if it’s a tree or a human being.

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

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?

Life doesn’t imitate art, it imitates bad television.

My work is about my life, and what I want to do with it.
