“Life has no meaning the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.”
Jean-Paul Sartre

Eric Hoffer
“Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.”

“The person lives most beautifully who does not reflect upon existence”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility”
Maya Angelou
