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.
Here I am trying to live, or rather, I am trying to teach the death within me how to live.
-Jean Cocteau
Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is a maths equation. In order to gain the most, you have to know how to convert negatives into positives.
Life is life – Whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.
-Sri Aurobindo
I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.
-Jimi Hendrix
Life has been compared with a battle and rightly so, as each day comes up with a new set of challenges which we must meet. One cannot just shy away from problems if he has to survive. He has to meet to challenges with courage.
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.
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.
-Tennessee Williams
A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.
-Deep Trivedi
