Trying to lead an interesting life, a fruitful life, is a big challenge.
To me, life is a bit of everything. I have the band, I have my kids. Life is a big picture. It's not just your career.
Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.
At the center of the religious life is a peculiar kind of joy, the prospect of a happy ending that blossoms from necessarily painful ordeals, the promise of human difficulties embraced and overcome.
Life is a blur when one is essaying different roles; it is so fulfilling.
Life is a full-contact sport, and there's a score up on the board.
All the time, I've felt that life is a wager and that I probably was getting more out of leading a bohemian existence as a writer than I would have if I didn't.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
For me, life is a bowl of cherries.

Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character.
Part of life and part of the enjoyment of life is a croissant and a chocolate cake and eggs and milkshakes and oatmeal. There's so many things, you have to learn to appreciate it all. When I don't eat as much as I should, I'm not fun to be around; I'm fussy.
Death is not more certainly a separation of our souls from our bodies than the Christian life is a separation of our souls from worldly tempers, vain indulgences, and unnecessary cares.
The separation of church and state was meant to protect church from state; a state that declares religion off limits in public life is a state that declares itself supreme over all religious values.
Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
Life is a series of commas, not periods.
I don't want to be married to any ideology, because life is a lot more fluid than that, and I think that we're trained and conditioned in this country to think in teams.
Life is a constant oscillation between the sharp horns of dilemmas.
