So we don't believe that life is beautiful because we don't recall it but if we get a whiff of a long-forgotten smell we are suddenly intoxicated and similarly we think we no longer love the dead because we don't remember them but if by chance we come across an old glove we burst into tears.
Marcel ProustRead
Life is - the way God has given it to me was just a platter - a golden platter of life laid out there for me. It's been beautiful.
Johnny CashRead
Energy functioning in a pattern becomes matter. That is all life is... Matter and energy are interrelated.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiRead
Yet, he thought, if I can die saying, "Life is so beautiful," then nothing else is important. If i can believe in myself that much, nothing else matters.
Mario PuzoRead
My life is one long daily, hourly record of answered prayer. For physical health, for mental overstrain, for guidance given marvelously, for errors and dangers averted, for enmity to the Gospel subdued, for food provided at the exact hour needed, for everything that goes to make up life and my poor service. I can testify, with a full and often wonder-stricken awe, that I believe God answers prayer.
Mary SlessorRead
Awareness is bad for the meat business. Conscience is bad for the meat business. Sensitivity to life is bad for the meat business. DENIAL, however, the meat business finds indispensable.
John RobbinsRead
I wanted to write about the moment when your addictions no longer hide the truth from you. When your whole life breaks down. That's the moment when you have to somehow choose what your life is going to be about.
Chuck PalahniukRead
What I really believe is the only hopeful relation between our life and the whole of life is one of reverence and respect and of feeling at one with it. The other attitude which is the one our society is based on is devastating and it is killing the earth and it is killing us too.
W. S. MerwinRead
The only relationship we can have in this life is the relationship we have with ourselves. We cannot love anybody more than we love ourselves. We cannot treat anyone any better than we treat ourselves. When you forget you, give up on you, or devalue yourself, anyone coming into your life has a universal responsibility to follow your lead.
Iyanla VanzantRead
In the East they say suffering is avoidable and not necessary. Life is bliss! You know why? This is because wisdom, yoga and meditation are ways to avoid suffering which has not yet come.
Sri Sri Ravi ShankarRead
But it's just because the chances are all against you, just because there is so little hope, that life is sweet over here.
Henry MillerRead
Part of life is a quest to find that one essential person who will understand our story. But we choose wrongly so often. Over the ensuing years that person we thought understood us best ends up regarding us with pity, indifference, or active dislike. Those who truly care can be divided into two categories: those who understand us, and those who forgive our worst sins. Rarely do we find someone capable of both.
Jonathan CarrollRead
Life is a thing to be lived, not spent; to be faced, not ordered. Life is not a game of chess, the victory to the most knowing; it is a game of cards, one's hand by skill to be made the best of.
Jerome K. JeromeRead
The surest way to get a thing in this life is to be prepared for doing without it, to the exclusion even of hope.
Jane Welsh CarlyleRead
Memory is a barricade against forgetting; light is a bulwark against darkness; life is a flex against the stillness of the grave. Maybe that's what I'm trying to do here, clear a space in all the debris, through all the anxieties and worries, where I can just exist, easily and simply, entire, for as long as I have left.
Helen HumphreysRead
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
Isaac AsimovRead
When I think of what life is, and how seldom love is answered by love; it is one of the moments for which the world was made.
E. M. ForsterRead
The crisis of our prayer life is that our minds may be filled with ideas of God while our hearts remain far from him.
Henri NouwenRead
We're all imperfect, and life is simply a perpetual, unending struggle against those imperfections.
Sidney PoitierRead
In the end, The treasure of life is missed by those who hold on and gained by those who let go

You are invited to the festival of this world and your life is blessed.
Rabindranath TagoreRead
