Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

We live in the world when we love it.

How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

The same stream of life that runs through the world runs through my veins night and day.

There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.

The moments that we have with friends and family, the chances that we have to make a big difference in the world or even to make a small difference to the ones we love, all those wonderful chances that life gives us, life also takes away. It can happen fast and a whole lot sooner than you think.
