And what is life but a little row in a small boat, every moment leaving what we know, every stroke unable to see where we are headed? ~ Stephen P. Kiernan
What Is Life quotes by Stephen P. Kiernan
What is life for? Life is for you. ~ Abraham Maslow
What Is Life quotes by Abraham Maslow
A more appropriate question to ask a Buddhist is simply, "What is life?" From our understanding of impermanence, the answer should be obvious: "Life is a big array of assembled phenomena, and thus life is impermanent." It is a constant shifting, a collection of transitory experiences. And although myriad life-forms exist, one thing we all have in common is that no living being wishes to suffer. We ~ Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse
What Is Life quotes by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse
It seems an odd idea, life being centered around pleasure." "What is life supposed to be, then?" "It's about duty, and sacrificing for others. And if we've been good, our pleasure comes later when we're rewarded in the hereafter." "I'll take my rewards now. ~ Lisa Kleypas
What Is Life quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Meditation means keeping one mind. You must understand - what is life? What is death? If you keep one mind, there is no life, no death. Then if you die tomorrow, no problem; if you die in five minutes, no problem. ~ Seung Sahn

i hear people ask, "what is life?" and i just say it's a word! ~ Eshna Benegal
What Is Life quotes by Eshna Benegal
From nowhere we came; into nowhere we go. What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset. ~ Crowfoot Blackfoot Warrior Chief 1890
What Is Life quotes by Crowfoot Blackfoot Warrior Chief 1890
What is life without love? ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
What Is Life quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
What is life truly like - once we strip away all of the story telling and anger and pain? Can we bring ourselves to say, "Thank you for everything; I have no complaint whatsoever"? This doesn't mean that we should be grateful only because things could be worse (although they could). Nor does it mean that things couldn't be better. It means, No matter what happens, PERFECT. No matter what happens, thank you! ~ Stephanee Killen
What Is Life quotes by Stephanee Killen
Problems," lamented Duncan. "They never seem to end."
"Do they even end in the first place?"
Duncan grimaced, "If only we know when they begin, we might be able to nip it in the bud before it putrefies."
"Not everyone recognizes the bud when it manifests itself," interjected Juliette.
"Quite true," agreed Duncan.
"But what is life without hurdles?" Juliette remarked, philosophical.
"Some of us simple folk prefer smooth sailing lives," he deadpanned.
"What can I say?" she smiled, shrugging. "To each his own. ~ Alexis Lawrence
What Is Life quotes by Alexis Lawrence
Suicide is an escape from life. What is life? An escape from death. This means that each of us must die twice. There is the death waiting us ahead, and the death that comes pursuing us from behind. Your trouble is that you're confused, Once you are free at least from the death that comes pursuing you, you can relax and enjoy life as you go along. ~ Kobo Abe
What Is Life quotes by Kobo Abe
People here snarl and frown a lot, he wrote; he had seen neither a smile nor the sun in months. What is life without beauty, love, and justice? ~ Aleksandar Hemon
What Is Life quotes by Aleksandar Hemon

What Is Life quotes by Julio Ramon Ribeyro
What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
What Is Life quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let's first ask, what is life? And immediately we are stumped. ~ Eric Chaisson
What Is Life quotes by Eric Chaisson
What is life but a Spectrum and what is music but life itself. ~ Billy Cobham
What Is Life quotes by Billy Cobham

But, my dear friend Wildfire," said Carl Peterson laying his hand on the Indian's shoulder, "this is not a policy to live by."

"Then let it be a policy to die by," defiantly spoke the Indian. "If we cannot be free, let us die. What is life to a caged bird, threatened with death on all sides? ~ S. Alice Callahan
What Is Life quotes by S. Alice Callahan
But what is love, and what is life, if you do not let yourself live? ~ Primadonna Angela
What Is Life quotes by Primadonna Angela
I just did a five-day raw-food diet, but I'll never do that again. It's really hard! I'd wake up in the morning feeling great and go to bed feeling miserable, because dinner would be cucumbers, kale, and dressing. I mean, at the end of the day, if you can't have a Girl Scout cookie and a piece of cheese, what is life all about? ~ Amanda Seyfried
What Is Life quotes by Amanda Seyfried
We all are wearing many hundred glasses of different colors. Therefore, everyone sees the world in different views. Somehow, if we could remove those glasses, we can see the world with real colors. Name of the most difficult to remove glass is 'there are permanent things of mine. ~ Muditha Champika
What Is Life quotes by Muditha Champika
What is life? Thoughts and feelings arise, with or without our will, and we employ words to express them. We are born, and our birth is unremembered and our infancy remembered but in fragments. We live on, and in living we lose the apprehension of life. How vain is it to think that words can penetrate the mystery of our being. Rightly used they may make evident our ignorance of ourselves, and this is much. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
What Is Life quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
What is life without some mystery in it and what is mystery without some life in it ~ Ankit
What Is Life quotes by Ankit
What is life, in the end, but a series of small victories and larger failures? ~ Guillermo Del Toro

What Is Life quotes by Jorge Enrique Ponce
But what is life if you don't live it? ~ James Patterson
What Is Life quotes by James Patterson
To live without you
is to be robbed of love
and what is life without it?
To live without you
is death to me, my love
but some call it life. ~ Rumi
What Is Life quotes by Rumi
What is life if not a gamble? ~ F.E. Higgins
What Is Life quotes by F.E. Higgins
Life is not about living; life is about contributing. ~ Debasish Mridha

May all your dreams but one come true, for what is life without a dream? ~ David Gemmell
What Is Life quotes by David Gemmell

What Is Life quotes by Avijeet Das
To doubt God is to doubt one's own conscience, and in consequence, it would be to doubt everything; and then what is life for? ~ Jose Rizal

Life is nothing but a sea shell in the ocean of love. ~ Debasish Mridha
What Is Life quotes by Debasish Mridha

But what is life without a passion? ~ Avijeet Das
What Is Life quotes by Avijeet Das
What is life," he asked the maiden, "without love? I would rather
have this one night with you than another thousand years. ~ Michele Bardsley
What Is Life quotes by Michele Bardsley
I dreamed of myself in a dream, and told the dream, which was mine, as if it were another person's of whom I dreamed. Indeed what is life when thinking of the past, but dreaming of a dream dreamt by another who seems to be oneself? ~ Stopford Brooke
What Is Life quotes by Stopford Brooke
For what is life, a good life, but the accumulation of small pleasures? ~ J. Maarten Troost
What Is Life quotes by J. Maarten Troost
What is life without this? which was why, in the end, it was I, and not her, who blurted out, not once, but many, many times, You'll kill me if you stop, you'll kill me if you stop, because it was also my way of bringing full circle the dream and the fantasy, me and him, the longed-for words from mouth to mouth, which was when I must have begun using obscenities that he repeated after me, softly at first, till he said, "Call me by your name and I'll call you by my name," which I'd never done in my life before and which, as soon as I said my own name as though it were his, took me to a realm I never shared with anyone in my life before, or since. ~ Andre Aciman
What Is Life quotes by Andre Aciman
The discovery and investigation of life on other planets is likely to change many of our ideas about how life arose on the Earth and even what is life and its natural development. ~ George Smoot
What Is Life quotes by George Smoot
What are clouds, but an excuse for the sky? What is life, but an escape from death? ~ James Clavell
What Is Life quotes by James Clavell
Those on the verge of leaving the church do not want to be told the answers. They want to be invited into the conversation of seeking what is life-giving, truthful, and consistent with the person and ministry of Jesus. ~ Wendy Vanderwal-Gritter
What Is Life quotes by Wendy Vanderwal-Gritter
What is life? A madness. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough; for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams. ~ Pedro Calderon De La Barca
What Is Life quotes by Pedro Calderon De La Barca
What begins will eventually end. The gap between is life. ~ Debasish Mridha
What Is Life quotes by Debasish Mridha
At the end of the day, what is life? A beautiful journey. Why must we take it so seriously and not enjoy every moment of it? Why not let any person have his chance in anything he desires? ...Why not vanish the hate and forgive? Why not follow our dreams and make them reality? ~ Maria Karvouni
What Is Life quotes by Maria Karvouni
What is life if not the shadow of a fleeting dream? ~ Umberto Eco
What Is Life quotes by Umberto Eco
What is life without death? That's like asking what is peanut butter without jelly? Or a baseball game on TV and changing the channel? Or government without taxes? Actually, I like those last two. ~ Jarod Kintz
What Is Life quotes by Jarod Kintz
What is life to you Jonathan?" he asked ~ Suren Hakobyan
What Is Life quotes by Suren Hakobyan
The dream, alone, is of interest. What is life, without a dream? ~ Edmond Rostand
What Is Life quotes by Edmond Rostand
What is life unless you're having a good time? I don't really have a plan; I just try to dip my toes in different ponds. ~ Douglas Booth
What Is Life quotes by Douglas Booth
What is life without incompatible realities? ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
What Is Life quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
I actually hear into life - seeing everything that's occurring as a conversation with God in some form. So it really is the next song on the radio - a chance utterance of a friend on the street - it really is what's happening right now. I stop and think, 'What is life trying to tell me right now?' And What does my soul know about this?' ~ Neale Donald Walsch
What Is Life quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
And what is life? God manifested in the material plane. For it is in Him that we live and move and have our being. ~ Edgar Cayce
What Is Life quotes by Edgar Cayce
The true heart of all human beings is the lover of what is. ~ Adyashanti
What Is Life quotes by Adyashanti
If you want to know yourself,
Just look how others do it;
If you want to understand others,
Look into your own heart.
What is life without the radiance of love? ~ Friedrich Schiller
What Is Life quotes by Friedrich Schiller
If you want to be reborn,' it is written in the Tao Te Ching, 'let yourself die.' This is what I've been having trouble with, the fact that letting go can feel, at times, like a death. Someday, I know, I will lose everything. All the small deaths along the way are practice runs for the big ones, asking us to learn to be present, to grow in faith, to be grateful for what is. Life is finite and short. But this new task, figuring out how to let go of so much that has been precious
my children, my youth, my life as I know it
can feel like a bitter foretaste of other losses yet to come. ~ Katrina Kenison
What Is Life quotes by Katrina Kenison
LUKE: O, what is life, and what our purpose here?
Are living creatures made for pain and strife,
Do we but walk our days upon the ground
To perish without memory or fame?
If so, what shall we seek whilst we yet like?
Is brave adventure worthy of our time,
Or should we seek the principle of pleasure? ~ Ian Doescher
What Is Life quotes by Ian Doescher
That which is essential for life, can never be bought. ~ Debasish Mridha
What Is Life quotes by Debasish Mridha
Ever since I was fifteen, that is to say from that moment when I lost all that was left me of my childhood, from the moment when I ceased to be aware of the present and knew only the past hurrying into the future, that is to say into the abyss, ever since I became fully conscious of time I have felt old and I have wanted to live. I have run after life as though to catch time, and I have tried to live. I have run after life so much that it has always escaped me, I have run, I have never been late and never too early, and yet I have never caught up with it: it is as though I have run alongside of it.
What is life, I may be asked. For me, life is not Time; it is not this state of existence, for ever escaping us, slipping between our fingers and vanishing like a ghost as soon as you try to grasp it. For me it is, it must be, the present, presentness, plenitude. I have run after life so much that I have lost it. ~ Eugene Ionesco
What Is Life quotes by Eugene Ionesco
Life is a simple straight line between birth and death. The problem is you only realize it at the end of the line. ~ Debasish Mridha
What Is Life quotes by Debasish Mridha
What is life, except an ongoing instinct for survival? Nature uses that instinct to make us perform; otherwise we would all relax, and the species would disappear. Nature is a cruel green mother. The survival instinct is a goad, not a privilege. ~ Piers Anthony
What Is Life quotes by Piers Anthony
As we lifted off, China growing ever more distant from the window-seat, the endless ocean opening up before us, I was torn between the excitement of something new and leaving that which I'd grown to love. In that moment, I understood we may never come back; that we were floating there suspended between two worlds, above the world. There was no logic in where we would go from here, nor any limitation. We had each other, and we knew now of what adaptation we were capable. Their faces flashed through my mind, and I wondered if we'd ever find a country like that again, or if we'd ever be as open with new friends, knowing now what it was like to leave them. Like a first love lost. I hoped we'd have the courage to love Germany so that the day we'd leave our hearts would also break. For what is life except that kind of attachment? And isn't it true that one can live in a place all their life, surrounded by comfort and familiarity, and never feel this longing? As the last view of China slipped off the horizon, I promised myself that I would always dare to love, squeezing Patrick's hand, and seeing that in our love for each other, we'd always have the strength to let go. ~ Megan Rich
What Is Life quotes by Megan Rich
Say, what is life? 'Tis to be born,
A helpless Babe, to greet the light
With a sharp wail, as if the morn
Foretold a cloudy noon and night;
To weep, to sleep, and weep again,
With sunny smiles between; and then? ~ John Godfrey Saxe
What Is Life quotes by John Godfrey Saxe
What is life worth if one has nothing to give away? This lack, it seems to me, must be the sharpest pang of poverty. ~ Mabel Osgood Wright
What Is Life quotes by Mabel Osgood Wright
I doubt she likes the idea of seeing him put back in a cage." "Maybe not," he said. "But she knows that the Authority are the only people who might be able to help him." "Or kill him," I said. "That too. What is life without risk?" "Long?" Terric laughed, a sort of high whooping that made me - and Zayvion, much to my surprise - smile. Contagious. For all he had a serious exterior, Terric was the guy you'd want to sit next to at a funny movie, just to hear him laugh. ~ Devon Monk
What Is Life quotes by Devon Monk
What is life? a tale that is told;
What is life? a frenzy extreme,
A shadow of things that seem;
And the greatest good is but small,
That all life is a dream to all,
And that dreams themselves are a dream.
-Segismundo ~ Pedro Calderon De La Barca
What Is Life quotes by Pedro Calderon De La Barca
What is life but God's daring invitation to a remarkable journey? And what is human nature but a staunchly inbred tendency toward self-preservation? And because of the rigidly paradoxical nature of these things, the road of life is seldom trod beyond a few scant steps. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
What Is Life quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Only the one who does not know what is life may believe that it is beautiful and easy. ~ Albert Camus
What Is Life quotes by Albert Camus
Don't sit, stand up! Do something; you can do wrong, but no problem, do it! At least you will have a story to tell others! If you don't do something, you will be storyless! And what is life? Life is nothing but a book of stories we write! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
What Is Life quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
Now departure from the world of men is nothing to fear, if gods exist: because they would not involve you in any harm. If they do not exist, or if they have no care for humankind, then what is life to me in a world devoid of gods, or devoid of providence? But they do exist, and they do care for humankind: and they have put it absolutely in man's power to avoid falling into the true kinds of harm. ~ Marcus Aurelius
What Is Life quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Life hinges on many factors we cannot control. Two of the most important factors, we can control. We can manage our relationships-and what is life but a series of relationships?-and we can correct our mistakes, here on earth within our life span. ~ Leon Uris
What Is Life quotes by Leon Uris
What is life if a man cannot count on his friends when he has gone mad? ~ David Gemmell
What Is Life quotes by David Gemmell
Is it not obvious? What is life but a betrayal? We start out young, full of hope. The sun is good, the world awaits us. But every passing year shows how small you are, how insignificant against the power of the seasons. Then you age. Your strength fails and the world laughs at you through the jeers of younger men. And you die. Alone. Unfulfilled. But sometimes ... sometimes there will come a man who is not insignificant. He can change the world, rob the seasons of their power. He is the sun. ~ David Gemmell
What Is Life quotes by David Gemmell
I sighed. What is life but fleeting moments of happiness strung together on necklace of despair? ~ Marian Keyes
What Is Life quotes by Marian Keyes
Sex is life: The act of creation in pleasure, the loss of oneself in another, the coming together of opposites in a temporary union of yin and yang, that creates something other than either. What is life if not this? ~ Frederick Lenz
What Is Life quotes by Frederick Lenz
Life is for learning. Life is for loving. Life is for living and life is for forgiving. ~ Debasish Mridha
What Is Life quotes by Debasish Mridha
What is life? Life - that is: continually shedding something that wants to die. Life - that is: being cruel and inexorable against everything about us that is growing old and weak -and not only about us. Life - that is, then: being without reverence for those who are dying, who are wretched, who are ancient? Constantly being a murderer? -And yet old Moses said: Thou shalt not kill. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
What Is Life quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The lesson is letting go, giving up and giving thanks for what is. Life unfolds in mysterious and beautiful ways; I have very little say in this process. ~ Judy Liautaud
What Is Life quotes by Judy Liautaud
He who commits his life to this son of man does not die, but he who does not commit his life to him destroys himself by not trusting to what is life itself Division (death) consists in this, that life came into the world, but men go away from that life. ~ Leo Tolstoy
What Is Life quotes by Leo Tolstoy
What is Life?
(1) Tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

(4) Series of actual and hypothetical behavioural data which differ in certain assignable ways from data defining dead or inanimate entities.
(5) That which the Lord infused into Adam. See Genesis 1. 4 [sc. 2. 7].
Which?
Mental Cramp. ~ Isaiah Berlin
What Is Life quotes by Isaiah Berlin
People are searching for reasons for believing, searching for answers to the big existential questions of "Why am I here?" and "What is life all about?" I find that people are able to accept the teaching of the Gospel when it's presented to them in both a rational and positive way. ~ Jonathan Morris
What Is Life quotes by Jonathan Morris
Life,
perhaps less a document than an impression,
conveyed through partial glances,
stream-of-consciousness juxtapositions,
unpredictable rhythms,
a collage of sound,
a conscientious diarist,
a career of blackmail and scandal culminated in murder,
a blind man with a will of iron and a nervous system of gossamer. ~ Brian D'Ambrosio
What Is Life quotes by Brian D'Ambrosio
What is life? A gulf of troubled waters, where the soul, like a vexed bark, is tossed upon the waves of pain and pleasure by the wavering breath of passions. ~ Letitia Elizabeth Landon
What Is Life quotes by Letitia Elizabeth Landon
