Life is unfair.
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
Life is a highway.
Life is pleasant. (Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.)
Life is not meant to be taken seriously.
Life is an onion: we take it one layer at a time, and sometimes it makes us weep.
Life is much easier if you have the source code.
Life is just one damned thing after another.
Life is "trying things to see if they work."
Life is a grindstone: it can both wear you down and make you sharp.
Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.
Life is relationships; the rest is just details.
Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
Life is a sewer: what you get out of it depends on what you put into it.
Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their own hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus.
Life is short.
Life is worth living.
Life is good.
Life is only meaningful because it ends.
ReplyDelete^ At least I think it is. Troy! Troy! Troy!
I went down to the river,
ReplyDeleteI set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.
I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so cold
I might've sunk and died.
But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!
I took the elevator
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down.
I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn't a-been so high
I might've jumped and died.
But it was High up there! It was high!
So since I'm still here livin',
I guess I will live on.
I could've died for love--
But for livin' I was born
Though you may hear me holler,
And you may see me cry--
I'll be dogged, sweet baby,
If you gonna see me die.
Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!
