To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment, and to be reborn in each new one. (Jane Thomas)
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life. (Jane Thomas)
If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow. (Jane Thomas)
We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always a sketch. No sketch is not quite the right word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch of nothing, an outline with no picture. (Jane Thomas)
They that have lived a single day have lived an age. (Jane Thomas)
If our life is unhappy it is painful to bear; if it is happy it is horrible to lose, So the one is pretty equal to the other. (Jane Thomas)
To live lightheartedly but not recklessly; to be gay without being boisterous; to be courageous without being bold; to show trust and cheerful resignation without fatalism -- this is the art of living. (Jane Thomas)
Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies. (Jane Thomas)
Life, we learn too late, is in the living, the tissue of every day and hour. (Jane Thomas)
Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe. (Jane Thomas)
People find life entirely too time-consuming. (Jane Thomas)
Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it. (Jane Thomas)
The game of life is not so much in holding a good hand as playing a poor hand well. (Jane Thomas)
You only live once -- but if you work it right, once is enough. (Jane Thomas)
Where there is life there is wishful thinking. (Jane Thomas)
If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live. (Jane Thomas)
Like a French poem is life; being only perfect in structure when with the masculine rhymes mingled the feminine are. (Jane Thomas)
Life is real! Life is earnest! And death is not its goal. Dust thou art, to dust returneth, was not spoken of the soul. (Jane Thomas)
Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity. (Jane Thomas)
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life. (Jane Thomas)
Life comes from physical survival; but the good life comes from what we care about. (Jane Thomas)
