"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."

"It's not your blue blood, your pedigree or your college degree. It's what you do with your life that counts."

"Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be."

"Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious."

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

"My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can."

"I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it."

"Life is half spent before we know what it is."

"Life is like a blanket too short. You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night."

"Fortunately psychoanalysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist."
