Facing Death: 10 Life Quotes

On January 16, 2013 by Janice Taylor

Because my mother had a stroke last week, and she is, so to speak, scripting her final chapter, which is currently overflowing with love, laughter and song, I can’t help but to think about life.   And as I do, as I reflect on the meaning of life, a life well-lived, a happy life, a balanced life, I realize that within each of us is the desire to move forward in life; a drive to search for the truth of that which we are, to unearth our essence, to know why we are here.  We have a need to become whole, holy healed, to find meaning and purpose; to live our life to the fullest.

Here are 10 quotes that speak to the mystery of life, complete with laughter as well as splinters.

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.  But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.  Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize:  a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes.  All is a miracle.  ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Life is the sum of all your choices.  ~Albert Camus

I believe in pink.  I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.  I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.  I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.  I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.  I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.  ~Audrey Hepburn
