Life is what matters, life alone - the continuous, eternal process of discovering life - and not the discovery itself.
Life is a prize, but to live doesn't mean you're alive
A span of life is nothing. But the man who lives that span, he is something. He can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable though its quantity may be insignificant.
Get to live; Then live, and use it; else, it is not true That thou hast gotten. Surely use alone Makes money not a contemptible stone.
The only incontrovertible fact of my work is the importance of life.
It is neccessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.
I think life is the most important thing and you have to live that first and then you're art comes second.
I desire ... to leave this one great fact clearly stated. THERE IS NO WEALTH BUT LIFE.
