Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite - getting something down.

The whole existence of man is a ceaseless duel between the forces of life and death.

I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself.

To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.

Hold on to the center and make up your mind to rejoice in this paradise called life.

It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living.

I opened the window and my heart. The sun flooded my house and Love flooded my soul.

There is nothing men are so anxious to keep, and yet are so careless about, as life.

This aint the life that I'm used to, reintroduced to people I've been introduced to.

I believe people are in our lives for a reason. We're here to learn from each other.

While all the future, for thy purer soul, With "sober certainties" of love is blest.

Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be.

The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.

The girl I am now, this girl-she survived. I just needed a little help getting here.

I didn't think it was my job to accept what everyone said I was and who I should be.

Paganism is the worship of life itself in its supreme mysteries of ecstasy and love.

Music makes practically everybody fonder of life than he or she would be without it.

Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.

There couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. They'd be dead in two weeks.

There is no foreground or background, only a continuity of interlacing relationships

In every encounter we either give life or we drain it; there is no neutral exchange.

You’re not necessarily supposed to believe it…You’re just supposed to believe in it.

There would be no society if living together depended upon understanding each other.

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

Our critical day is not the very day of our death; but the whole course of our life.

There is no answer. It's okay. But even if it wasn't okay, what am I supposed to do?

We've got one life and the older we get the more we come to realize how short it is.

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.

I don’t know a perfect person. I only know flawed people who are still worth loving.

The surrender of life is nothing to sinking down into acknowledgment of inferiority.

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.

Sometimes you don't need lightning to start a fire. Sometimes, it builds on its own.

We're all worm bait waiting to happen. It's what you do while you wait that matters.

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

Don't be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you.

Banish that fear; my flame can never waste, For love sincere refines upon the taste.

Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

The most useful piece of learning for the uses of life is to unlearn what is untrue.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

Sheer effort enables those with nothing to surpass those with privilege and position

That we devote ourselves to God, is seen In living just as though no God there were.

Where life is more terrible than death, it is then the truest valor to dare to live.

I have found it to be true that the older I've become the better my life has become.

Karma means ultimate responsibility. You even take responsibility for your genetics.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people spend it for you.

We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.

It is because the spirit is inestimable, that the lifeless body is so little valued.

Life is very simple. What I give out comes back to me. Today, I choose to give love.

Life has no guarantees, though. What good is living if all you think about is dying?
