Anthony Kiedis Quotes

What is the value of your existence?

I have a calling in my soul, if you like, to try to make my life in some way worthwhile. What is the value of my existence?

No life if it is properly realized is without its cosmic importance.

I was looking for what the meaning of life was.

A man can look upon his life and accept it as good or evil; it is far, far harder for him to confess that it has been unimportant in the sum of things.

Basically, I feel fortunate to have realized what the goal is in life. There's no point in dying having gone through your life without knowing who you are, what you are, or what the purpose of life is. And that's all it is.

We do not live so that we can eat, nor do we just eat so that we can live. Life is worth living in and of itself. Life cannot be satisfied when it is lived out as a consuming entity. When it is filled by that which satisfies a hunger that is both physical and spiritual in a mutuality that sustains both without violation of either, only then can life be truly fulfilling.

The meaning of life consists in the fact that it makes no sense to say that life has no meaning.

Does life have any meaningful purpose?

Life would be stunted and narrow if we could feel no significance in the world around us beyond that which can be weighed and measured with the tools of the physicist or described by the metrical symbols of the mathematician.

Life belongs to man, but the meaning of life is beyond him.

The only basis for living is believing in life, loving it, and applying the whole force of one's intellect to know it better.

The truth is, if what we choose to do with our lives won't make a story meaningful, it won't make a life meaningful either.

If you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on earth.

Where was it ever promised us that life on this earth can ever be easy, free from conflict and uncertainty, devoid of anguish and wonder and pain? Those who seek the folly of unrelieved 'happiness'-who fear moods, who shun solitude, who do not know the diginity of occasional depression-can find bliss easily enough: in tranquilizing pills, or in senility. The purpose of life is not to be happy.

If life is so meaningless, then why are we always bringing it up?

We’re all alive, but we don’t know why or what for; we’re all searching for happiness; we’re all leading lives which are different and yet the same.

We are not born to survive. Only to live.

I believe that all that we go through here must have some value.

That it should be the questions and shape of a life, its total complexity gathered, arranged, and considered, which matters in the end, not some stamp of salvation or damnation that disperses all the complexity into some unsatisfying little decision - the balancing of scales.

Before you come alive, life is nothing; it 's up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing else but the meaning that you choose.

Everyone's life is a page in the human history irrespective of the position he or she holds or the work he or she performs.

The purpose of life is to live it.

The purpose of life is to find out 'Who am I?', 'Why am I here?' and 'Where am I going?'

Life is a great gift, and as we reach years of discretion, most of us naturally ask ourselves what should be the main object of our existence.
