Is there any intelligent life on earth?
Yes, but I am only visiting.
Living on earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun.
When it comes time to cash in that Ninth Life, I hope I will be in the sea. Man is a fish in exile. To become part of a kaleidoscopically dazzling coral reef certainly seems preferable to becoming food for worms in a city cemetery or burning in a crematory oven for an hour and a half.
Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
(Eleanor Roosevelt)
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from it.
William Osler
»Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven't had that what HAVE you had?«
Henry James

My Life Closed Twice Before it Closed
by Emily Dickinson
My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.
I wonder what it was in Emily Dickinson's life that made her think that parting partook of heaven especially if she was talking about the final parting of death, which I assume she was.
For me, another great poet, Goethe, was nearer the mark, when he said that we must always be careful for every parting with those we love contains within it the seeds of madness....
The best use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts life.
William James
Life does not cease to be funny when people die
any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm still not sure about the meaning of life. Fortunately, this is not a graded essay!
