Life is hard, but death is even harder.
Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.
Getting old is not for sissies.
Three causes especially have excited the discontent of mankind; and, by impelling us to seek remedies for the irremediable, have bewildered us in a maze of madness and error. These are death, toil, and the ignorance of the future.
Sucking the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bone.
I believe firmly in the efficacy of religion, in its powerful influence on a person's whole life. It helps immeasurably to meet the storms and stress of life and keep you attuned to the Divine inspiration. Without inspiration, we would perish.
Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.
To be, or not to be, that is the question.
In this life ain't no happy endings; Only pure beginnings followed by years of sinning and fake repentance.
We became closer and closer at the end of Freddie's life, and I think we were co-dependent in many ways. We stuck together for an awfully long time, and I think we all felt we needed one another.
Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them?
Truly great men must, I think, experience great sorrow on the earth.

I like the movies that embrace the complexity of the human condition.
Life's accumulation is more discouraging than life itself, when stirred up.
I go through ups and downs in the psyche all the time, and then once you start moving again, it's amazing how you can always bounce back. You get, like, in a low rut, and you think, 'This is it; my life is a train wreck.' And then you bounce back again.
Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
There are people who are victims in life, and I don't think they should be encouraged.
All life is problem solving
Everyone goes through a hard time in their life.
The pathos of life is worse than the tragedy.
Nobody wants to get rid of their life experiences - you are who you are because of them, no matter if they're good or bad.
The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself.
