- If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.
- Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Cicely, 1992
- Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.
- Leo Buscaglia (1925 - 1998)
- If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection.

- Life has to end, love doesn't.
- Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven
- A man's subconscious self is not the ideal companion. It lurks for the greater part of his life in some dark den of its own, hidden away, and emerges only to taunt and deride and increase the misery of a miserable hour.
- P. G. Wodehouse (1881 - 1975), Uneasy Money
