For ‘im that doth not work must surely die;
But that's no reason man should labour all
‘Is life on one same shift—life's none so long.
--
Sestina of the Tramp-Royal, Stanza 4 (1896).

It took me a long time to adjust and narrow down my life. I made my shift to the mind-set ... there's time for my daughter outside work and that's all. This is my new life. This is not drudgery. This is fun.

 

Lucy Lawless

 

What is the reason that you came forth into this physical experience? You wanted more. You wanted more exposure, to more opportunity, to have more feelings. So the meaning of life, it sounds strange to say it, but the meaning of life is LIFE! Its to feel life pouring through you, to feel the exhilaration of a new idea coming to fruition. To feel yourself not right on it and then work yourself until you are on it. To have a new idea occur to you and to recognize you are not a vibrational match to it, and then to deliberately become a vibrational match to it. All of that is fun and all of that is life. So the meaning of life and the reason for life is for the thrill.

 

Esther Hicks

 

…surely that sneered-at suburban life was more stable than this shadow life…in a country where no involvement was possible…better than the sordid dalliance that soothed me after work?

 

Anthony Burgess

 

Underneath this stone doth lie
As much beauty as could die;
Which in life did harbor give
To more virtue than doth live.

 

Ben Jonson

 

There is no reason for amazement: surely one always knew that cultures decay, and life's end is death.
