Life

At the end of the day, you're only as good as the shadow that was left in the morning.

So when the blue smoke of brittle leaves was in the air and the wind blew the wet laundry stiff on the line I decided to come back home.

They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad to realize I'm going to miss mine by just a few days.

To exist as an individual means not simply to be numerically distinct from other things but to be a self-pole in a dynamic relationship with alterity, with what is other, with the world.

Don't worry about being a normal person, let the normal person worry about not being you.

The future is made of the same stuff as the present.

A living skeleton isn't enough for you, is it? What does it take to impress young people these days?

In Antiochus and his daughter you have heard of monstrous lust the due and just reward; In Pericles, his queen, and daughter, seen, Although assailed with fortune fierce and keen, Virtue preserved from fell destruction's blast, Led on by heaven, and crowned with joy at last.

And in real life endings aren't always neat, whether they're happy endings, or whether they're sad endings.

How can non-existence get sick of itself?Everytime you wake up, you appear again out of nowhere. And so does everything else.

We don't even have the instrument to do it, because our mind & our world are the same thing.

If you are still breathing, do not stop learning.

I see fashion as a proclamation or manifestation of identity, so, as long as identities are important, fashion will continue to be important. The link between fashion and identity begins to get real interesting, however, in the case of people who don't fall clearly into a culturally-recognized identity.

You do not even think of your own past as quite real; you dress it up, you gild it or blacken it, censor it, tinker with it...Fictionalize it, in a word, and put it away on a shelf - your book, your romanced autobiography. We are all in the flight from the real reality. That is the basic definition of Homo sapiens.

On the morning of the exorcism, I stayed home from school.

Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.

Life is the sum of all your choices.

After life has broken you open, perhaps you may create art.

I imagine that yes is the only living thing.

Live life, love life.

Life is a race against time.
