“Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.”

“Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.”

“To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.”

“For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.”

“I have inspiration and feelings of being alive most every day I live.”

“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”

“The quality of life is more important than life itself.”

“The only disability in life is a bad attitude.”

“Life is lived on the edge.”

“Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.”

“Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?”

“Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.”

“As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.”

“Unbeing dead isn't being alive.”

“Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities.”

“Thug Life to me is dead.”

“The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.”

“Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: 'I'm with you kid. Let's go.'”

“Life itself is the proper binge.”

“Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.”

“Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.”
