We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger--but recognize the opportunity.
John F. Kennedy
In my first story, 'Mr. Mysterious & Company'... I was asked to take out some of the humor because editors were afraid reviewers would dismiss the book as a joke. Today, humor is enjoyed and no longer regarded as literary brummagem.
Sid Fleischman
Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness, and a better sense of humor.
Brian Eno
Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn't.
Neil Gaiman
If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.
Joan Powers
I think in my case, I had no choice but to have a good sense of humor. I grew up with my dad, Danny Thomas, and George Burns and Bob Hope and Milton Berle and Sid Caesar and all those guys were at our house all the time and telling jokes and making each other laugh.
Marlo Thomas
If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life - and only then will I be free to become myself.
Martin Heidegger
