Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that." »E. B. White |
| "What is the meaning of human life, or of organic life altogether To answer this question at all implies a religion. Is there any sense then, you ask, in putting it I answer, the man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life." »Albert Einstein |

| "Bitterness imprisons life love releases it. Bitterness paralyzes life love empowers it. Bitterness sours life love sweetens it. Bitterness sickens life love heals it. Bitterness blinds life love anoints its eyes." »Harry Emerson Fosdick |
| "The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment." »Rabindranath Tagore |

It tells you that the forces that affirm life are stronger than those that negate it." »Paul E. Pfuetze |
