As the old saw says well: every end does not appear together with its beginning.
Life is too mysterious to try to map it out. I've certainly lived long enough to know it will take you places you never thought it would take you - and some of those places are kind of wonderful.
It's life, man, and life is never easy.
As you move through this life...you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you.
When you're on your deathbed, you probably aren't counting the movies you've made.
As a life's work, I would remember everything - everything, against loss. I would go through life like a plankton net.
The drama of life begins with a wail and ends with a sigh.
The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it.
Experience is something I always think I have until I get more of it.
On my tombstone, I want written: 'He never did 'Love Boat!'
I am a greedy poet. I keep munching life all the time. Sweet, sour and bitter moments.
There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.

Then the Warrior of the Light thanks his traveling companions, takes a deep breath and continues on, laden with memories of an unforgettable journey.
As a child, I wondered often, 'Why are we? What is the meaning of life?' These questions made me realize that life is what has meaning - not just individual lives, but all of our lives.
There is no shortcut to life. To the end of our days, life is a lesson imperfectly learned.
Life is filled with tests, one after another, and if you don't recognize them, you are certain to fail the most important ones.
There are many paths but only one journey.
Sometimes I have a feeling, when I look back on my life, that all I've been through has prepared me perfectly for just what I'm doing now.
I've been privy to certain experiences which have allowed me to realize how fleeting time is, in any case, and how ultimately not important this is. 'This' being the things perhaps we trip on in life.
As I look back at the entire tapestry of my life, I can see from the perspective of the present moment that every aspect of my life was necessary and perfect. Each step eventually led to a higher place, even though these steps often felt like obstacles or painful experiences.

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.
It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you.
In everybody's life, there is love, there is sorrow, there is melancholy. And there might be danger as well.
The people I met and the places I been Are all what make me the man I so proudly am.
