“I tasted life.” 

“Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.” 

“Life is a spell so exquisite that everything conspires to break it.” 

“That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.” 

“Forever is composed of nows.” 

“How do most people live without any thought? There are many people in the world,--you must have noticed them in the street,--how do they live? How do they get strength to put on their clothes in the morning?” 

“To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.” 

I had learned one of the bitter lessons of life: never try to regain the past, the fire will have become ashes.

Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.

Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live.

I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I've done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?

Life is wasted on the living.

“He stood up straight and looked the world squarely in the fields and hills. To add weight to his words he stuck the rabbit bone in his hair. He spread his arm out wide. "I will go mad!" he annouced.” 

“If life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.” 

“Life... is like a grapefruit. Well, it's sort of orangey-yellow and dimpled on the outside, wet and squidgy in the middle. It's got pips inside, too. Oh, and some people have half a one for breakfast.” 

“Life,” said Marvin dolefully, “loathe it or ignore it, you can’t like it.” 

“Life is wasted on the living.” 

“All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.” 

“We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!”
