- You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act.
- Barbara Hall, A Summons to New Orleans, 2000
- The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
- Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
- Brendan Gill
- Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.
Christopher Morley (1890 - 1957)
- The purpose of life is to fight maturity.
- Dick Werthimer
- Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Romania. - Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967), Not So Deep as a Well (1937), "Comment"
- It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.
