life

Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.

George Burns, Jan 20, 1896 – Mar 9, 1996

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.

Robert Frost

I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me – like food or water.

Ray Charles

My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue, an everlasting vision of the ever changing view.

Carole King

I keep sailing on in this middle passage. I am sailing into the wind and the dark. But I am doing my best to keep my boat steady and my sails full.

Arthur Ashe

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

John Lennon

To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.

Baruch Spinoza

It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.

Albert Einstein

Why be saddled with this thing called life expectancy? Of what relevance to an individual is such a statistic? Am I to concern myself with an allotment of days I never had and was never promised? Must I check off each day of my life as if I am subtracting from this imaginary hoard? No, on the contrary, I will add each of my life to my treasure of days lived, and with each passing day my treasure will grow, not diminish.
