“The goal of being alive is to figure out what it means to be alive.”

“Imagine being sentient but not alive. Seeing and even knowing, but not alive. Just looking out. Recognizing but not being alive. A person can die and still go on. Sometimes what looks out at you from a person's eyes maybe died back in childhood.”

“Hell is being alive, and being alive is all there is.”

“The aim is to balance the terror of being alive with the wonder of being alive.”

“What a blessed if painful thing, this business of being alive.”

“Many people are alive but don't touch the miracle of being alive.”

“Spirituality does not mean going away from life. Spirituality means becoming alive in the fullest possible way so you are not just alive on the surface, you are alive to the core.”

“I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.”

“Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.

Love is a friendship set to music.”

“Act out being alive, like a play. And after a while, a long while, it will be true.”
