You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
They say the seeds of what we will do are in all of us, but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure.
-Ernest Hemingway
The light teaches you to convert life into a festive promenade.

"The Sun Watches the Sun"
Let life be a deep let-go. See God opening millions of flowers every day without forcing the buds.
-Rabindranath Tagore
"The Gardener"
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
-Fernando Pessoa
"The Book of Disquiet"
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
All your efforts at the end are nothing, but inviting pains and pleasures in life,
whereas to be steadfast in your 'being' no effort is required. The best part is,
there is only joy and happiness, not just for one but for hundreds of reasons.
-Deep Trivedi
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
-Henry David Thoreau
Sing your life; any fool can think of words that rhyme.

The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them up.
-Ambrose Bierce
