Life
Life without freedom is like a body without a soul, and freedom without thought is like a confused spirit.

"Kafka on the Shore"
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Some chapters in the Book of Life tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and others are exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
-Anonymous "Anonymous"
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.
