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.
The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them up.
-Ambrose Bierce
The devotee engages to the best of his or her ability into the play of life, fulfilling his or her role on this earth as student, employee, husband, wife…But at the heart of the devotee is a burning desire for the Lord.
It is not that you read a book, pass an examination and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people will spend it for you.
-Peter Shaffer
"Five Finger Exercise: A Play"
The existence of life and its beauty, both are hidden in the "uncertainties" of
life.

You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
It's good to do uncomfortable things. It's weight training for life.
-Anne Lamott
"Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith"
The combat of life is greater than every other earthly combat.
-Plato
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
