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 has no meaning, the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.
We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.
-Louis Sachar
"Holes"
Death is extraordinarily like life when we know how to live.
-J. Krishnamurti
Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?
-Audrey Niffenegger
"The Time Traveler's Wife"
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.
We have lost contact with reality, the simplicity of life.
-Paulo Coelho
Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
One’s entire life is a continuous process of learning. Any process of inquiry is related to learning. But basically our inquiry should be concerned with finding out what is transient and what is permanent. This is true knowledge.
