Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it. |
| Clive James |
A life without fame can be a good life, but fame without a life is no life at all. |
| James Dean |
An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet. |
| Kate Jackson |
I'm married now, so I have a life. I had to get a life. That's one thing I really had to do, you know. You do that kind of work on television series after television series and you don't have a life. So, that's part of what I did while I was gone, I got a life. |
| Viktor E. Frankl |
Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible. |
| William James |
Why should we think upon things that are lovely? Because thinking determines life. It is a common habit to blame life upon the environment. Environment modifies life but does not govern life. The soul is stronger than its surroundings. |
| Baltasar Gracian |
True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing. |
| Billy Gardell |
And then as I got older, see, I think a lot of times with comics, your life kind of permeates your act. Whatever is happening in your life is what's going on on stage. So if you're angry in your life, then that's going to be on stage. If you're looking for the guy that's just going to make you laugh for an hour and forget about, that's me. |
| Charles Ives |
There can be nothing exclusive about substantial art. It comes directly out of the heart of the experience of life and thinking about life and living life. |
| Eduardo Galeano |
My language is a feel-thinking language, feeling and thinking at once, that is why it is a celebration of life, and at once it is a denunciation of everything that is not allowed in life to be real life, it's plenitude. |

"to renounce false judgements would be to renounce life, would be to deny life. To recognize untruth as a condition of life: that, to be sure, means to resist customary value-sentiments in a dangerous fashion; and a philosophy which ventures to do so places itself , by that act alone, beyond good and evil." (Beyond Good and Evil, 333)"

How do you objectively measure the value of life though? I wonder if someday in the distant future there will be different objective measures for the value of life, each named after an ethical theory or philosophy, or famous philosopher. Then you'd have to have different tables of statistics about demographics. Makes me wonder how people write life insurance policies. I just read a lot about Satanism and I'm pretty sure this is more disturbing to think about. Turns out the Satanists on Reddit seem to mostly be Individualists with varying but usually very mild levels of angst.

"Today mother died. Or maybe yesterday; I can't be sure." This alludes to his claim that life is engrossed by the absurd. He believed that the absurd – life being void of meaning, or man's inability to know that meaning if it were to exist – was something that man should embrace. He argued that this crisis of self could cause a man to commit "philosophical suicide"; choosing to believe in external sources that give life (what he would describe as false) meaning. He argued that religion was the main culprit. If a man chose to believe in religion – that the meaning of life was to ascend to heaven, or some similar afterlife, that he committed philosophical suicide by trying to escape the absurd.

I had a dream that Jerry from Rick and Morty was a giant monster and he was attacking me and I was running around this building and trying to kill him with a bow and arrow. My friend kept saying "hey are you ready to leave" like it was a videogame that she wanted me to stop playing but it wasn't. It felt like real life and like I was fighting for my life. Super weird.

Human thinking is born out of some sort of neurological defect in the human
body. Therefore, anything that is born out of human thinking is destructive.

Religion has invented that wonderful thing called charity. It is the most
vicious and vulgar thing that we have done. Nature has provided us with a
bounty. But we are individually responsible for the inequities of the world.

There is no teaching of mine, and never shall be one. 'Teaching' is not the
word for it. 'Teaching' implies a method or a system, a technique or a new way
of thinking to be applied in order to bring about a transformation in your way
of life. What I am saying is outside the field of teachability; it is simply a
description of the way I am functioning. It is just a description of the natural
state of man -- that is the way you, stripped of the machinations of thought, are

Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

Researchers Created ‘Quantum Artificial Life’ For the First Time
“Our research brought these amazingly sophisticated events called life to the realm of the atomic and microscopic world …and it worked.”
For the first time, an international team of researchers has used a quantum computer to create artificial life—a simulation of living organisms that scientists can use to understand life at the level of whole populations all the way down to cellular interactions.

Summum bonum is a Latin expression meaning "the highest good", which was introduced by the Roman philosopher Cicero,[1] to correspond to the Idea of the Good in ancient Greek philosophy. The summum bonum is generally thought of as being an end in itself, and at the same time containing all other goods.
The term was used in medieval philosophy. In the Thomist synthesis of Aristotelianism and Christianity, the highest good is usually defined as the life of the righteous and/or the life led in communion with God and according to God's precepts.[1] In Kantianism, it was used to describe the ultimate importance, the singular and overriding end which human beings ought to pursue.
