Dance like no
one is watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like no one is listening,
Live like it's heaven on earth.~ William Purkey ~ Life is really
about a spiritual unfolding that is personal and enchanting -- an unfolding that
no science or philosophy or religion has yet fully clarified.~ James Redfield ~ Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven't had that what have you had?~ Henry James Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way. George S. Patton, General (1885-1945) Make voyages! Attempt them... there's nothing else. Tennessee WilliamsAll of the animals except man know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it. Unknown Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.~ Franz Kafka
Life is short;
live it up.~ Nikita Khrushchev ~ Life has its
own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.~ Soren Kierkegaard ~ Most people
think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks,
then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes
into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million
dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it
back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is
paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of
your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk
and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at
Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die.
Maybe.~ Denis Leary ~ "Just because something's toxic doesn't mean it's not tasty." - Matthew J. Siske. Lawyer's creed: A man is innocent until proven broke. "There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face."-- Ben Williams
A Welshman who spent the past five years of his life
building the world’s biggest rubber band ball – a ball made entirely of rubber
bands – dropped it out of a plane today to see if it would bounce. And you think
you’ve wasted your life!

We live
everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what
can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why
life is always a sketch. No sketch is not quite the right word, because a sketch
is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch
that is our life is a sketch of nothing, an outline with no picture.~ Milan
Kundera ~ |

We only seem to
learn from Life that Life doesn't matter so much as it seemed to do -- it's not
so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking
sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the
promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the
ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn't matter so much.~ D. H.

Life is a
dead-end street.~ H. L. Mencken ~

Life moves on,
whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if
we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut
our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or
despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can
become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every
moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.~
Henry Miller ~

My art and
