Why have only two or three ways of life, and not thousands? Every man is wanted, and no man is wanted much.
Whomever lives, gambles with life.
Whoever has lived long enough to find out what life is, knows how deep a debt of gratitude we owe to Adam, the first great benefactor of our race. He brought death into the world.
Who will tell whether one happy moment of love, or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies?
While in the life of the human race the mythical is an early and primitive stage, in the life of the individual it is a late and mature one.
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.[Quando io crederò imparare a vivere, e io imparerò a morire.]
Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
When you’re around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work, it’s not strange, it’s just Gaga.
When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.[Quando menos esperamos, a vida coloca diante de nos um desafio para testar nossa coragem e nossa vontade de mudanca; neste momento, nao adianta fingir que nada acontece, ou desculpar-se dizendo que ainda nao estamos prontos. O desafio nao espera. A vida nao olha para tras. Uma semana é tempo mais que suficiente para sabermos decidir se aceitamos ou nao o nosso destino.]
When we don’t know where life is taking us, we are never lost.[Quando não sabemos onde a vida está nos levando, nunca estamos perdidos.]
When we are at the end of life, to die means to go away; when we are at the beginning, to go away means to die.[Quand on est à la fin de la vie, mourir, cela veut dire partir; quand on est au commencement, partir, cela veut dire mourir.]
When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time.
