生活
The greatest fear is not of death but of life.
The longer I live, the more I feel that the only way to live is to live with love.
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't.
The story of a poor man's life is written on his body, in a sharp pen.
"I think that's what fiction is for, to make sense of the world, to make sense of life."
The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.
We are all ghosts of ourselves, haunting the places we once lived.
All serious art attempts to make sense of life.
"Life on a lifeboat isn't much of a life. It is like an end game in chess, a game with few pieces. The elements couldn't be more simple, nor the stakes higher."
"To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation."
"The world isn't just the way it is. It is how we understand it, no? And in understanding something, we bring something to it, no? Doesn't that make life a story?"
I am interested in the way people lie to themselves, the stories they tell themselves to make life bearable.
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
The spiritual life is not a life of negation, but of affirmation.
The spiritual life is the only life worth living.
Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
The man who has no inner life is the slave to his surroundings.
