“Life is like being at the dentist. You always think that the worst is still to come, and yet it is over already.”

“People tend to see only the stubble fields of transitoriness but overlook and forget the full granaries of the past into which they have brought the harvest of their lives: the deeds done, the loves loved, and last but not least, the sufferings they have gone through with courage and dignity.”

“Thus far we have shown that the meaning of life always changes, but that it never ceases to be. According to logotherapy, we can discover this meaning in life in three different ways: (1) by creating a work or doing a deed; (2) by experiencing something or encountering someone; and (3) by the attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering.”

― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

"As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being."

"The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it."

“The greatest and most important problems in life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved, but only outgrown.”

~ Jung

Re: Quotable Quotes 12

Love is like an undertow. You can fight it with every ounce of energy you have; it is far more powerful than you, and it inevitably sweeps you under. Once love takes hold, it remains. Love is what remains when life finds its ending. It is the bridge that connects where we have been, where we now reside, and where we ultimately need to travel.

And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

Re: Quotable Quotes 12

“Follow your bliss.
If you do follow your bliss,
you put yourself on a kind of track
that has been there all the while waiting for you,
and the life you ought to be living
is the one you are living.
When you can see that,
you begin to meet people
who are in the field of your bliss,
and they open the doors to you.
I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid,
and doors will open
where you didn't know they were going to be.
If you follow your bliss,
doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.”

“As you proceed through life, following your own path, birds will s*** on you. Don't bother to brush it off. Getting a comedic view of your situation gives you spiritual distance. Having a sense of humor saves you.”

“If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.”

“Where you stumble and fall, there you will find gold.”

“I don’t believe in being interested in a subject just because it’s said to be important. I believe in being caught by it somehow or other.”

“Tragedy is an unfinished comedy.”

“Tragedy is the shattering of the forms and of our attachment to the forms; comedy, the wild and careless, inexhaustible joy of life invincible.”

“If you travel far enough, you'll eventually meet yourself.”
