Life

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

-- Albert Einstein

I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults of the first.

Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe.

-- Denis Leary

And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

-- Abraham Lincoln

Life - a sexually transmitted terminal condition.

Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.

-- Rainer Maria Rilke

To be or not to be isn't the question. The question is how to prolong being.

-- Tom Robbins

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

-- George Bernard Shaw

Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

-- George Bernard Shaw
