The spiritual life is first of all a life. It is not merely something to be known and studied, it is to be lived.

In our creation, God asked a question and in our truly living; God answers the question.

The solution of the problem of life is life itself. Life is not attained by reason and analysis but first of all by living.

Life is this simple: we are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and the divine is shining through it all the time. This is not just a nice story or a fable, it is true.

The perishableness of life...imparts value, dignity, interest to life.

...when life still hesitates to touch us, when neither duty nor guilt dares lay a hand upon us

Myth is the foundation of life; it is the timeless pattern, the pious formula, into which life flows when it reproduces its traits out of the unconscious.

It's not the pace of life I mind. It's the sudden stop at the end.

For it can never be that war shall preserve life, and peace destroy it.

Life is nasty, brutish, and short

Life's too slippery for books, Clarice; anger appears as lust, lupus presents as hives.

A census taker tried to quantify me once. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a big Amarone. Go back to school, little Starling.

Man should not consider his material possessions as his own, but as common to all, so as to share them without hesitation when others are in need

Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason.

We can't live our lives according to what might have been. We have to live by what is.

Sometimes that's all life is... One desperate act after another.

Every person's life is theirs by right. An individual's life can and must belong only to to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave.

Your life is your own. Rise up and live it.

Where you have the most armed citizens in America, you have the lowest violent crime rate. Where you have the worst gun control, you have the highest crime rate.

There's an absolute surety to the hands-on conservation lifestyle of hunting, fishing and trapping where you know you're going to consume today.

Mankind: A quality of life upgrade is available to each and every one of you. It should give you a quality of life upgrade, which means no drugs, no alcohol, no fast food - unless, of course, it's a mallard.

I am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.

I write about wounds, the eternal treasons of life. It's not very funny, but it's sincere. My commitment is to sincerity.

Don't worry, life is good despite everything!
