“The Fascist accepts life and loves it, knowing nothing of and despising suicide; he rather conceives of life as duty and struggle and conquest, life which should be high and full, lived for oneself, but above all for others — those who are at hand and those who are far distant, contemporaries, and those who will come after.”

— Benito Mussolini, book The Doctrine of Fascism

“He who loves God is also able to accept life and to love it. This is not the same as to love God. For many pious people in all generations the love of God is the other side of the hatred for life. And there is much hostility towards life in all of us, even in those who have completely surrendered to life. Our hostility towards life is manifested in cynicism and disgust, in bitterness and continuous accusations against life. We feel rejected by life, not so much because of its objective darkness and threats and horrors, but because of our estrangement from its power and meaning. He who is reunited with God, the creative Ground of life, the power of life in everything that lives, is reunited with life. He feels accepted by it and he can love it. He understands that the greater love is, the greater the estrangement which is conquered by it. In metaphorical language I should like to say to those who feel deeply their hostility towards life: Life accepts you; life loves you as a separated part of itself; life wants to reunite you with itself, even when it seems to destroy you.”

“Life is a blessing for those who are able to appreciate it, and a misfortune for those who fail to make sense of it.

Some know what they are looking for and fighting for. Others just live without any pretensions.

But life forces everyone to struggle in their own way. Some succeeded, some failed.

Some end in bitter and sad tragedies. Others make life a funny and entertaining comedy.

Everything cannot be separated from the choices they make. It all depends on how they view and interpret their own lives.”
