Fate is like a caged Gorilla .. It will hurl dung at you if you mock it
In life, as in restaurants, we swallow a lot of indigestible stuff just because it comes with the dinner. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
My grandfather always said that living is like licking honey off a thorn. ~Louis Adamic
Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark. ~Samuel Johnson
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. ~Elwyn Brooks White
My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can. ~Cary Grant
Eating, loving, singing and digesting are, in truth, the four acts of the comic opera known as life, and they pass like bubbles of a bottle of champagne. Whoever lets them break without having enjoyed them is a complete fool. ~Gioacchino Rossini
To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone. ~Reba McEntire
All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on. ~Havelock Ellis
I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse's good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment. ~Ludwig Wittgenstein
If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, where X is work, Y is play, and Z is keep your mouth shut. ~Albert Einstein
Life is not having been told that the man has just waxed the floor. ~Ogden Nash
One wanders through life as if wandering through a field in the dark of night, wearing a blindfold and very heavy shoes, with a poisonous toad waiting patiently beneath a clump of weeds, knowing full well that eventually you will step on him. ~Lemony Snicket
Perhaps we are looking at this from a wrong perspective; this search for the truth, the meaning of life, the reason of God. We all have this mindset that the answers are so complex and so vast that it is almost impossible to comprehend. I think, on the contrary, that the answers are so simple; so simple that it is staring us straight in the face, screaming its lungs out, and yet we fail to notice it. We're looking through a telescope, searching the stars for the answer, when the answer is actually a speck of dirt on the telescope lens. ~Jason Q., from generationterrorists.com
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, 1890, as quoted in Catch the Whisper of the Wind compiled by Cheewa James
God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny. ~Garrison Keillor
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. ~Mel Brooks
Life is a shit sandwich. But if you've got enough bread, you don't taste the shit. ~Jonathan Winters

♥ Are you ready to cut off your head
and place your foot on it?
If so, come; Love awaits you!
Love is not grown in a garden,
nor sold in the marketplace;
whether you are a king or a servant,
the price is your head, and nothing less.
Yes, the cost of the elixir of love is your head!
Do you hesitate? 0 miser, It is cheap at that price!
-Abu Hamid Al-Ghazzali

Crocodile Dundee
In the movie "Crocodile Dundee" .. Mick Dundee is heard to say, when confronted by Life wielding thugs, .. "That's Naht uh Lyfe" .. then, reaching behind himself, pulls out a much larger life, and brandishes it in front of the aforementioned thugs. Followed by .. "That's uh Lyfe"
Teaching us, in very few words, that "Lyfe" is what you say it is
Well, that's the way I remember it anyway

For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don't enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you're not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn't going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.
--Andy Rooney
People's whole lives do pass in front of their eyes before they die. The process is called 'living'.
--Terry Pratchett
Literature is mostly about having sex and not much about having children. Life is the other way round.
--David Lodge
Life dies inside a person when there are no others willing to be-friend him. He thus gets filled with emptiness and a non-existent sense of self-worth.
--Mark R. J. Lavoie
Life is only an outer layer, for reality is only realized by the insane.
--Valleix Herard
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
--Shakespeare
Life is like playing the violin solo in public and learning the instument as you go.
--Edward George Bulwer-Lytton
Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination.
--Christopher Isherwood
Life without love is meaningless and goodness without love is impossible.
--Greg Jurkiewicz
Living here is like wetting yourself in a dark suit .. You get a warm tingley sensation all over ... but nobody notices
--Keith O'Keithowitz
