“Life doesn't work out the way we plan, but maybe it works out the way it's supposed to after all.”

“Life doesn't make any sense, and we all pretend it does. Comedy's job is to point out that it doesn't make sense, and that it doesn't make much difference anyway.”

“We never can just stop time. Or take moments back. Life doesn't work that way, does it?”

“Things do not turn out the way you think they will.”

“Be bold! That's one way
Of getting through life.
So I turn upon her
And point out that,
Faced with the wickedness
Of things, she does not shiver.”

“You see, life only turns out good or bad for only a little bit. And then it turns out some other way.”

“A prisoner never stops thinking about getting out of the prison. Life in the world is like sitting in a prison. One who doesn't realize that doesn't think of getting liberation.”

“In life, the way we perceive life and reality is often instrumental in how things can unfold.”

“I'm not sure anyone's life turns out exactly the way they imagine. All we can do is to try to make the best of it. Even when it seems impossible.”
