On #The Meaning of Life
-
"Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it."
-
"The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Neither love without knowledge nor knowledge without love can produce a good life. "
-
"A life that partakes even a little of friendship, love, irony, humor, parenthood, literature, and music, and the chance to take part in battles for the liberation of others cannot be called ‘meaningless’ except if the person living it is also an existentialist and elects to call it so."
-
"The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it."
-
"The meaning of life in the human sphere is easy to answer: to create satisfaction for ourselves and for other people. In the extra-human sphere the question has no meaning."
-
"You cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything."
