Mark Manson Quotes

Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.

It's hard to say what I want my legacy to be when I'm long gone.

The further you go in life, the more you realize what you're going to leave this Earth.

The difference between kitties and humans is that we are aware of our mortal condition, and the burden of consciousness is to evoke and embody and explore the coordinates of our condition.

I want to leave a nice legacy.

...the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time.

Does anything really matter? We all end up in the same place. All that's left is our Wikipedia entry.

It is not dying, but living, that is a preparation for Death.

Before my death I hope to obtain my life.

As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence . . .

I finally did not understand if we are living to survive or we are living to die!

The one true freedom in life is to come to terms with death, and as early as possible, for death is an event that embraces all our lives. And the only way to have a good death is to lead a good life. The more we do God's will, the less unfinished business we leave behind when we die.

You never know what life means till you die; even throughout life, tis death that makes life live.

If death is in the room, it's pretty interesting. But I would also say that I'm interested in getting myself to believe that it's going to happen to me. I'm interested in it, because if you're not, you're nuts. It's really de facto what we're here to find out about.

Is life worth living? This is a question for an embryo not for a man.

When you were born, you cried and everybody else was happy. The only question that matters is this - when you die, will you be happy when everybody else is crying?

I just wish that people will be kinder to me when I pass away.

My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning.

One life is worth the universe. Poe was able to go right into the very depth of life and to demonstrate this.

All of us want to live, and that is absolutely natural. However, we should learn from childhood on to choose our best way to die. If we don't do that, we end up spending our days like a dog, only in search of harbour, food and expressing a blind loyalty to his owner in return. That isn't enough to make our lives have a meaning.
