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.
My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
He who has a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.

-E. E. Cummings
Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something.
-William Goldman
"The Princess Bride"
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
-Henry David Thoreau
Life's as kind as you let it be.
-Charles Bukowski
"Hot Water Music"
There are those who spend their lives arguing which is better, the crescent moon or the full. Then there are a few who revel in both for they know The Moon is One.
The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware. Joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
-Henry Miller
Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
