  Life Quotes
• "To suffer woes which hope thinks infinite; To forgive wrongs darker than death or night To defy power, which seems omnipotent; To love, and bear; to hope till hope creates From its own wreck the thing it contemplates Neither to change, nor falter, nor repent; This, like thy glory, Titan, it to be Good, great and joyous, beautiful and free; This alone is life, you, empire and victory."

  Life Quotes
• "Your life is the one place you have to spend yourself fully--wild, generous, drastic--in an unrationed profligacy of self ... And in that split second when you understand that you finally are about to die-to uncreate the world no time to do it over no more chances--that instant when you realize your conscious existence is truly flaring nova, won't you want to have used up all-all-the splendor that you are?"

  Life Quotes
• "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything, and many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here, and what the question might mean. I might think about it a little bit, but if I can't figure it out, then I go on to something else. But I don't have to know an answer.... I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn't frighten me."
  By: Richard Phillips Feynman
