The Meanings of Life

Life and love and life and love,
a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets,
and to drag in the idea of a point
is to ruin everything. Live and let live,
love and let love, flower and fade,
and follow the natural curve,
which flows on, pointless.
-D.H. Lawrence

'What is the meaning of life?' is a stupid question. Life just exists. You say to yourself, 'I can't accept that I mean nothing so I have to find the meaning of life so that I shouldn't mean as little as I know I do.' Subconsciously you know you're full of shit. I see life as a dance. Does dance have to have a meaning? You're dancing because you enjoy it.
-Jackie Mason

Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.
-Kurt Vonnegut

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that death will tremble to take us.
-Charles Bukowski
