Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.

Let us be careful, lest out of pure honesty we eventually become saints and bores! Is not life a hundred times too short for us-to bore ourselves?

It is true: we love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

When you realize who you live for, and who's important to please, a lot of people will actually start living. I am never going to get caught up in that. I'm gonna look back on my life and say that I enjoyed it - and I lived it for me.

O mighty and once living instrument of formative nature. Incapable of availing thyself of thy vast strength thou hast to abandon a life of stillness and to obey the law which God and time gave to procreative nature.
