Your life and
my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace
and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for
me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that
unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really
live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really
is, in just this sense, love.~ Frederick Buechner ~
·
Real life seems
to have no plots.~ Ivy Compton Burnett ~

Optimism and
humor are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would never have

living? This is a question for an embryo not for a man.~ Samuel Butler ~

When one
subtracts from life infancy (which is vegetation), sleep, eating and swilling,
buttoning and unbuttoning -- how much remains of downright existence? The summer
of a dormouse.~ Lord Byron ~

The optimist
proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist

In between
goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.~ Sid Caesar ~
·
The surrender
of life is nothing to sinking down into acknowledgment of inferiority.~ John C.
Calhoun ~

If, after all,

interesting if you make mistakes.~ Georges Carpentier ~

Outer space is
no place for a person of breeding.~ Violet Bonham Carter ~

Living, just by
itself -- what a dirge that is! Life is a classroom and Boredom's the usher,
there all the time to spy on you; whatever happens, you've got to look as if you
were awfully busy all the time doing something that's terribly exciting --or
he'll come along and nibble your brain.~ Louis-Ferdinand Celine ~
·
Life itself is
the proper binge.~ Julia Child ~

In the early
days all I hoped was to make a living out of what I did best. But, since there's

in the sunset.~ Crowfoot ~

Life is a
succession of lessons enforced by immediate reward, or, oftener, by immediate
chastisement.~ Ernest Dimnet ~

Let us live
while we live.~ Philip Doddridge ~
·
Life is like
eating artichokes, you have got to go through so much to get so little.~ Thomas
A. Dorgan ~
·
Life is
infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would
not dare to conceive the things which are really merely commonplaces of
existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this
great city, gently remove the roofs and peep in at the queer things which are
going on, the strange coincidences, the planning, the cross-purposes, the
wonderful chain of events, working through generations and leading to the most
outer results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen
conclusions most stale and unprofitable.~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ~
·
What life means
to us is determined, not so much by what life brings to us as by the attitude we
bring to life; not so much by what happens to us as by our reaction to what
happens.~ Lewis L Dunnington ~
·
Be glad of life
because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at
stars.~ Henry Van Dyke ~

The golden
moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the
angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.~ George Eliot

standing still.~ Lou Erickson ~
·
Life is at its
best when it's shaken and stirred.~ F. Paul Facult ~

In three words

I believe that
imagination is stronger than knowledge -- that myth is more potent than history.

over experience -- That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that
love is stronger than death.~ Robert Fulghum ~

Some people go

what the world holds for you it's what you bring to it~ Anne Of Green Gables ~
