This is the manner of noble souls: they do not want to have anything for nothing; least of all, life. Whoever is of the mob wants to live for nothing; we others, however, to whom life gave itself, we always think about what we might best give in return... One should not wish to enjoy where one does not give joy. Friedrich Nietzsche Joy Soul
What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneness, and say, "This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned-and you with it, dust of the dust!" Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teethand curse that demon? Or would you answer, "Never have I heard anything more divine?" Friedrich Nietzsche
One must have something to die for in order to have something to live for. Carlos Castaneda Death Life
You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred. Woody Allen
It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives. Tony Robbins
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die. Leonardo da Vinci Learning
