What Is Life?


“Most people consider life a battle — but it is not a battle, it is a game.”

Florence Scovel Shinn (1871-1940)

“The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.”

Anais Nin

“Now there is one outstandingly important fact regarding life on Spaceship Earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it.”

Buckminster Fuller

“I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.”

Eleanor Roosevelt

“How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.”

George Washington Carver

“Nothing else matters much — not wealth, nor learning, nor even health — without this gift: the spiritual capacity to keep zest in living. This is the creed of creeds, the final deposit and distillation of all important faiths: that you should be able to believe in life.”

Harry Emerson Fosdick

“People do not live nowadays – they get about ten percent out of life.”

Isadora Duncan

“You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you’re going to live. Now.”

Joan Baez

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”

John Lennon

“I’ve looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall I really don’t know life at all.”

Joni Mitchell
