Is despair wrong? Isn’t it the natural condition of life after a certain age? … After a number of events, what is there left but repetition and diminishment? Who wants to go on living?

What is human life? Is it not a maimed happiness—care and weariness, weariness and care, with the baseless expectation...of a brighter tomorrow? Ernest Renan
What is a god? A god is a personification of a motivating power of a value system that functions in human life and in the universe. Joseph Campbell
What is important is the moment of opening a life and feeling it touch--with an electric hiss and cry--this speckled mineral sphere, our present world. Annie Dillard

Life is like a novel. It's filled with suspense. You have no idea what is going to happen until you turn the page. Sidney Sheldon
What is the most innocent place in any country? Is it not the insane asylum? These people drift through life truly innocent, unable to see into themselves at all. Arthur Miller
Adrian Grenier quote: "What is important is family, friends, giving back to your..."
What is important is family, friends, giving back to your community and finding meaning in life. Adrian Grenier
William Godwin quote: "What indeed is life, unless so far as it is enjoyed? It does..."
What indeed is life, unless so far as it is enjoyed? It does not merit the name. William Godwin
Shinichi Suzuki quote: "What is man's ultimate direction in life? It is to look for..."
