Even when you are not paralysed by fright or screaming with pain, life is a moment-to-moment struggle against hunger or cold or sleeplessness, against a sour stomach or an aching tooth.

Life is like an extremely difficult, horribly unbalanced videogame. When you're born, you're given a randomly generated character, with a randomly determined name, race, face, and social class. Your body is your avatar, and you spawn in a random geographic location, at a random moment in human history, surrounded by a random group of people, and then you have to try to survive for as long as you can.
- from Ready Player Two book by Ernest Cline
Life is a weird thing. We spend all our time trying to manage different aspects of it, yet we are still largely shaped by things that happen beyond our control.

Life is tough. You need to be tougher or it will turn you inside out.

Life is growth. Business is growth. You grow or you die.

Look, life has never been fair, and yet you continue to operate as if it is - as if once you get a few wrongs straightened out, everything else will fall into place. They won't. You want my advice? Don't work the system. Outsmart it.

Life is often more complex than the stories we like to tell about it.

Life is a funny thing. We only get so many years to live it, so we have to do everything we can to make sure those years are as full as they can be. We shouldn't waste time on things that might happen someday, or maybe even never.
- from It Ends With Us book by Colleen Hoover
Death comes to all. But life comes first. Cherish it. Death is the destination. But the journey, that is life. That is what matters.
- from The Way of Kings book by Brandon Sanderson
Life's way too valuable to hang with people who don't get you. Who you just don't vibe with. Who have different values and lower standards than you do.
