We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
When we see everything in life as a game, we will be equally joyous when falling as we are when rising. If we can fully understand this – if we can see life as swinging on a swing – we will never fall apart when failure comes our way.
If there's a thing I've learned in my life, it's to not be afraid of the responsibility that comes with caring for other people. What we do for love: those things endure. Even if the people you do them for, don't.
-Cassandra Clare
Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv
I believe when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade...and try to find someone whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.
-Ron White
Life is a festival only to the wise.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.
-Julian Barnes
"Flaubert's Parrot"
There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.
-Maya Angelou
