Meaning Of Life Quotes

There might not be anyone who was born with a reason. I think that everyone might have to find one on their own. A reason for being born… A reason that it’s okay to be alive… A reason to exist.

Life has no meaning a priori... It is up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing but the meaning that you choose.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Motivational Quotes

— But if there is no God, then life has no meaning. Why go on living? Why not just commit suicide?

The Art of Getting By

Mrs. Grimes

George Zinavoy

You told me that you might find a reason to live, if you lived in a world of \Nviolence and bloodshed. <...> You won't find it. You must know that already. Whether you're on the side who kills people, or the side who saves people, nothing beyond what you would expect will appear. Nothing in this world can fill that lonely hole you have. You will wander the darkness for eternity. <...> Be on the side that saves people. If both sides are the same, become a good man. Save the weak, and protect the orphans. Neither good nor evil means much to you, I know... but that'd make you at least a little bit better.

Oda Sakunosuke (Odasaku)

My Mama used to tell me if u can’t find something to live for, you best find something to die for.

Purpose Of Life

Lost in Translation

Bob Harris

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.

When I work for hours without getting tired, I am easy in my mind and I seem to know why I exist. But God alone knows what most of the people in Russia were born for.

Translated from the Russian by Kathleen Cook

— I'll gladly give my life.
— I don't want you to be glad about it. I want you to curse and fight until your heart's done pumping. And know this, boy. Your death will be a gift for them south of the Wall. They'll never know what you've done. They'll never know how you died. They won't even know your damn name. But they'll be alive because some nameless bastard north of the Wall gave his life for theirs.

The animal does not question life. It lives.
Its very reason for living is life; it enjoys and relishes life.

The Martian Chronicles

Life

I cannot be part of a world where men dress their wives as prostitutes by showing everything that should be cherished. Where there is no concept of honor and dignity, and one can only rely on those when they say ‘I promise.’ Where women do not want children, and men don’t want a family. Where the suckers believe themselves to be successful behind the wheel of their fathers’ cars, and a father who has a little bit of power is trying to prove to you that you’re a nobody.
