Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty five years and you pay it back and then one day you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then one day you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe. - Denis Leary
We all know the same truth; our lives consist of how we choose
to distort it, and that’s it. Everybody knows how awful the world is and
what a terrible situation it is and each person distorts it in a
certain way that enables him to get through. Some people distort it with
religious things. Some people distort it with sports, with money, with
love, with art, and they all have their own nonsense about what makes it
meaningful, and all but nothing makes it meaningful. These things
definitely serve a certain function, but in the end they all fail to
give life meaning and everyone goes to his grave in a meaningless way. - Woody Allen
The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. - Henry David Thoreau
Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise. - George Orwell
