Everything on


Everything on heaven and earth, all the minutes before this moment... have prepared you for today. Use all that you know to make it perfect. It is the sum total of your life.

And yet there is only


And yet there is only
One great thing,
the only thing,
To live to see
in huts and on journeys
The great day that dawns
And the light 
that fills the world.

Life can be


Life can be cruel and terrible, 
and anyone who expects to escape that fact is asking for a life at sea without storms.
~Harry Emerson Fosdick

Lives are snowflakes

“Lives are snowflakes - forming patterns we have seen before, as like one another as peas in a pod (and have you ever looked at peas in a pod? I mean, really looked at them? There's not a chance you'd mistake one for another, after a minute's close in”

~Neil Gaiman

Firstly

“Firstly, there is no such person as Death. Second, Death's this tall guy with a bone face, like a skeletal monk, with a scythe and an hourglass and a big white horse and a penchant for playing chess with Scandinavians. Third, he doesn't exist either.”


~Neil Gaiman

He had noticed

“He had noticed that events were cowards: they didn't occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once.”


~Neil Gaiman

God does not play dice

“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of the players, (ie everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.”


~Neil Gaiman

I've been making a list

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”


~Neil Gaiman

One day

"One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life."

I used to think

“I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.”

- Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

– Henry Miller

The purpose of life

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience…"

– Eleanor Roosevelt

We do not remember

“We do not remember days…
We remember moments."

– Cesare Pavese

Who honors those we love

Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us and at the same time sings that we'll never die? Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us and who holds the key that can set us free? It's you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight.

Freedom

Freedom is never dear at any price.
It is the breath of life.
What would a man not pay for living?

When you enter into it take with you your all.

Hold on

"Hold on to what is good, even if it's a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe, even if it's a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do, even if it's a long way from here.
Hold on to your life, even if it's easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand, even if someday I'll be gone away from you."

~ A Pueblo Indian Prayer

Life is without meaning

"Life is without meaning.
You bring the meaning to it.
The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be.
Being alive is the meaning."

- Joseph Campbell
