| #107: | Is life real or a virtual reality video game? Doesn't matter. It's the only game there is, so you might as well play it. |
| #108: | Is there life after death? Irrelevant. That's another universe. You have to live this life for what it is. - #existentialism |
| #109: | The rules of life come from life itself, from what you see and experience. You don't need a god to tell you what works and what doesn't. |
| #110: | People invent a life after death to try to get themselves off the hook for their current one. |
| #114: | It seems 1% of the risks in life get 99% of the publicity. Mobilizing for these unlikely threats may distract us from the real ones. |
| #126: | People who are trapped usually want you to join them. They need to promote their lifestyle and beliefs to justify what they've already done. - #existentialism |
| #158: | You don't need an answer to everything to lead a satisfying life. You just soldier on based on what you do know. - #existentialism |
| #168: | We all grew up in a protected environment, an artificial one, and the great trauma of life is discovering that the world works differently. - #existentialism |
| #170: | Life is like a episode of "Lost". A lot of it doesn't make much sense, but you keep going anyway. - #existentialism |

| #256: | Some of the best solutions to life's problems are unpublicized, because they wouldn't work if everybody did them. |
| #269: | Everyone has a philosophy of life. Even if they can't put it into words, it is guiding their actions. - #existentialism |
| #302: | The philosophy of EXISTENTIALISM says the answers to life's questions come from life itself, not from any outside authority (God, etc.) |
| #303: | Existentialism isn't an atheist philosophy but an agnostic one. We don't know what lies beyond this life. All we know is this one. |
| #304: | Existentialism suggests that no one knows more than you do about what life is all about. All priests and gurus are just as lost as you are. |
| #305: | Existentialism says everything you need to know about life is right in front of you. Life itself provides the data. |
| #306: | To figure out how life works, you conduct experiments and try to deduce the underlying mechanisms. What works? What doesn't? You decide. - #existentialism |
| #308: | You could argue the life is an illusion. Existentialism says, "So what?" It's the best illusion we have, so we have to respect it's rules. |
| #317: | Under existentialism, there's no giving up. Fortune or misfortune, you soldier on, because life is all you've got, and you have to use it. |
| #318: | So where did life come from? Did God make it? I don't know, but it's irrelevant. All that matters is what you do, what you choose. - #existentialism |
| #329: | Engulfment is when you lose control of your own life in service to others. It feels like you're drowning. - #existentialism |
| #331: | Life is inherently lonely. There will always be a limit to how much you can merge with others, so get used to it! - #existentialism |
| #365: | Marriage, or any other "forever" commitment, assumes that you have your life all worked out in advance. It's an arrogant position. |
| #372: | Life's most narcissistic act is to bring a new child into the world when so many already here are in desperate need. |
| #382: | Back on a plane after two (2) hours of sleep in Reno. Ah, the gay life! |
| #438: | The most valuable accessories of modern life are foam earplugs. I use mine everywhere! Find them cheap in the firearm section of Wal-Mart™. |
| #457: | The only essentials in life are food, protection from weather, internet access and a medical plan. Everything else is negotiable. |
| #464: | The best things in life are not promoted or advertised. You have to find them yourself. |
| #476: | Pity those who are cursed with beauty. They have no incentive to develop an inner life. |

| #567: | Half of life is knowing the rules. The other half is knowing when to break them. |
| #607: | In Country music, life is superficial: Love is good, breaking up bad, traditions wholesome, broken hearts tragic... BOR-ing! |
| #646: | If you look too closely at show biz you'll see it's all fake. Real life, with all its warts, is far more entertaining. |
| #653: | I looked around me and said, Is THIS what I want to be doing for the rest of my life? |
| #699: | No one cries for the "poor little rich kids" but their adjustment to real life can be difficult and traumatic. |

| #815: | You have two options in life: grow or die. |
| #817: | A hot tub is symbolic of the things you don't need in life: a huge maintenance burden that doesn't give you the pleasure you think it will. |
| #828: | Life is like riding a roller coaster backwards. You see a "trend" behind you but not the dips and turns that will mess it up. - #existentialism |

| #909: | When you eliminate television, radio, newspapers, YouTube & MP3s from your life, you regain your brain and can begin to live. |
| #935: | Success in life depends on knowing your role. You err when you get sucked into things you know you're not good at. |

| #953: | Most people spend most of their lives positioning themselves for a life that never happens. Then they die. - #existentialism |
| #954: | People can spend a lifetime building a shrine to themselves. Then they die and it's sold for scrap. |
| #965: | Each person has built his life on a platform of delusion. It is not your role to pull it out from under him. - #existentialism |
| #977: | Many a sucker has taken an exciting two-week vacation and extended it for a lifetime, only to find the excitement ended after two weeks. |
| #984: | Young people are eager to try any product that promises to give their life meaning. They want to buy an identity, not build one. - #existentialism |
| #996: | This is all you need to know about the meaning of life: No one knows any more than you do! - #existentialism |

| #1163: | Any art that doesn't teach you something about life isn't really art but noise and isn't worth the effort to take in. |
| #1166: | Over and over in life you run into the same problem: not enough time! Success is usually a matter of time management. |
| #1167: | To you TV watchers: How can you let so much of your life slip away? |
| #1210: | Nobody thinks about the mosquito, about her short life and how the odds are stacked against her. Makes you want to give generously! |

| #1263: | Humor is an essential lubricant of life, but it can't be an end in itself or it becomes a prison. |
| #1277: | Before you pass judgment on life, you have to actually live it, not just study it from afar. |
| #1291: | In the real world, there will always be a gap between what the rule books say and what is actually enforced. Life is lived in that space! |
| #1358: | Essentials of Life: 1) food, 2) safe place to sleep, 3) computer w internet, 4) place to work w A/C power, 5) medical plan. |
| #1367: | A sad fact about rural life: The brightest young people move to the city, leaving behind the dumbest. Then those suckers breed! |

| #1646: | Lesson of "A Serious Man": If you base your life on faith and fail to make your own judgments, you are ripe for catastrophe. |
| #1658: | There are no permanently safe harbors. Anything you think guarantees lifelong security is really just a prison in disguise. |
| #1661: | Experts say the Ft Hood gunman may have suffered from Secondary Stress Disorder. Isn't that called "life"? Who doesn't have it? |
| #1686: | "Convergent evolution" in philosophy is when people from differing backgrounds come to the same conclusions about life. |
| #1689: | Most of life's problems are better solved with lifestyle changes rather than products. The products merely defer responsibility. |
| #1709: | If you think you see what's wrong with someone's life, there's usually no way to tell them. Such habits are impervious to words. |
| #1719: | The main thing that keeps the economy going is an optimistic delusion: "If I buy this product my life will be better." |
| #1732: | No one can give you a meaningful mission in life. You have to find it on your own. |
| #1735: | If alien life presents itself to us, we'll have to deal with it. Until then, searching for it is a poor use of our resources. |
| #1737: | Humor is the grease of life, but it is also the last refuge of the desperate. Behind the laughter can be much unhappiness. |
| #1738: | Instead of laughing at the absurdities of your life, maybe you should fix them. |
| #1747: | I just generated a #TweetCloud out of 3 months of my tweets. Top three words: people, times, life - http://w33.us/3l0a |
| #1757: | Once we discover alien life and sit down to talk with them about the important things, we'll probably find they don't know shit either! |
| #1766: | If you are distressed by the circumstances of your life, psychology and psychiatry won't help you much. That's when you need philosophy. |
| #1786: | The ultimate product of your life is the conditions you leave behind. |

| #1977: | "The influence of each human being on others in this life is a kind of immortality." - John Adams |
| #2009: | In business as in life, there is no such thing as a guarantee, only the illusion of it that suckers are willing to pay too much for. |
| #2029: | Entertainment is an addiction and the enemy of accomplishment. Either you take the drug and remain numb or you do something with your life. |
| #2045: | The future of health care is simple: People with more money will be able to buy a longer life. |
| #2047: | One of the central problems of life is how to find paying work that also allows you to retain your dignity and pursue your own goals. |
| #2067: | "Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get." - Conan O'Brien - Indeed, some get a windfall of publicity! |
| #2100: | Libido comes and goes throughout ones life. Losing it is no big deal, unless you are committed to a relationship based on it. |
| #2111: | A great movie (or book or song or life experience) is one that you wake up at night thinking about, years after you saw it. |
| #2123: | All social relations are a balance between loneliness and "engulfment", or the loss of control over ones own life. |
| #2128: | Humor is the alcohol of life. A little of it can loosen people up, but a steady diet of the stuff is just another destructive addiction. |
| #2137: | Life is like a great buffet of every food you crave. Will you make the the right nutritional choices or simply pig out? |
| #2139: | Opportunism is a philosophy of life wherein you take advantage of whatever unexpected opportunities come your way. It's a valuable skill! |
| #2149: | The ultimate coin of life is not money but time. You only have so much of it, and money rarely buys you more. |
| #2152: | "Nothing in this world is truly vegan." (via @aubynr) How true! There are no simple guilt-free policies (in diet or life). |
| #2153: | A split second, a bad decision made on the fly, and everything can change in an instant. Life hangs by such a fragile thread. Don't test it! |
| #2180: | The most valuable accessories of modern life: foam earplugs! (Find them in the firearms section of Wal-Mart™.) |
| #2188: | Depression leads to passivity - a decreased willingness to solve one's own problems - so the grim assessment of life is self-fulfilling. |

| #2205: | No parent can comprehend in the beginning how child rearing will consume their life. |
| #2251: | Most people are like aquarium fish, living the life of the fishbowl without caring to know about the world beyond it. |
| #2270: | In social media, as in life, your challenge is discovering your own style and purpose. What is your function here? |
| #2271: | Existentialism says that life itself creates its own meaning. You just solve the problems in front of you, in increasing sophisticated ways. |
| #2292: | Mistakes are a necessary part of learning. Unfortunately, some of those mistakes can kill you or suck up decades of your life. Sad lesson. |
| #2316: | Sex is like chocolate cake: tasty at times but bland if you have it every day and certainly not worth rearranging your life for. |
| #2319: | Enough negatively, people! Let's have more positive, life-affirming tweets without all the criticism and passing of judgments. And sarcasm. |
| #2353: | If you think you can live without medical care (ie insurance), consider that the "natural" historic lifespan of humans was barely 40 years. |
| #2366: | We all grew up in a protected environment, an artificial one, and the great trauma of life is discovering that the world works differently. |
| #2382: | Everything you own but don't need not only clutters up your own life but isolates you from the bulk of humanity who is struggling to get by. |
| #2407: | Most moral decisions in life are not a matter of choosing the "best" alternative but the "least worst" one. |
| #2411: | Bottom line: You have this tool at your disposal, this life, and you can either do the most you can with it or not. Totally up to you. |
| #2416: | The gray area between rules and enforcement is where most of life is lived. |
| #2419: | Tweeting something funny about how badly your life is going is just a crutch and a delaying mechanism. Get off your ass and do something! |
| #2420: | There is nothing sadder than a lifetime wasted in the maintenance and protection of one possessions. |
| #2427: | What is the meaning of life? Reality gives you problems, and you do your best to solve them. You need no more meaning than that. |
| #2430: | Kilroy Café #64: "The Meaning of Life Explained at Last" http://bit.ly/9bOn6m - It ain't all that complicated! |
| #2447: | Life works in cycles: boom & bust, love & divorce. People are caught off guard when they haven't lived long enough yet to see a full cycle. |
| #2449: | People become entrapped in their own artificial expectations of life. The fundamental test of character is overcoming that internal block. |
| #2457: | On my bucket list: Install a personal weather station behind my home and spend the rest of my life meticulously collecting readings from it. |
| #2463: | "Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law." —Kant. Wrong! Your situation is unique, not universal. |
| #2469: | Kant, the philosopher, gave us "Can't", the philosophy — where you get so tied up in a rigid theory of life that no actions are possible. |
| #2482: | "Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced." Kierkegaard. WRONG! We experience reality by solving life's problems. |
| #2483: | Life is the process of solving the problems reality presents to you. |
| #2498: | If you fully control your own life, you can live on very little. If you give up control to outside forces, no income is ever enough. |
| #2523: | Life is an imperfect negotiation with reality that rarely let's us achieve any theoretical ideal. |
| #2531: | If you see a defect in yourself or the life you are living, there's no courage in making jokes about it. The courage lies in changing. |
| #2532: | A little money can improve your life a lot, but a lot of money only improves it a little more. |
| #2542: | The trouble with superheroes in real life is they fly into a problem expecting to save people but end up becoming part of the problem. |
| #2543: | Sleep is your brain's scheduled maintenance period. You can't cheat on maintenance and expect a safe and healthy waking life. |
| #2553: | In the space journey of life, the jump to lightspeed is seeing in your own predicament universal truths. |

| #2655: | If your life is simple, you can master it and make few mistakes. If your life is complex, you'll always be stumbling. |
| #2668: | The worst mistakes of life are misguided attempts to take a temporary thrill and make it permanent. |
| #2676: | When you dedicate your life to a single medium (music, photography, writing, etc), you end up with fine technical skills and nothing to say. |

| #2774: | Technology can improve your life if you use it wisely, but it doesn't help humanity as a whole. There's more suffering now than ever before. |
| #2785: | There are no perfect solutions to the problems of life. There are only "good enough" solutions that get you by. |
| #2787: | If you have no plan, use the standard one: get married, buy a house, have kids, fall into debt, work hard and — Poof! — your life is over! |
| #2792: | The real coin of life is not money but time. It is getting more valuable by the minute, and when it is gone your money will be useless. |

| #2843: | The pain of life is largely the product of naïve investments that don't turn out as expected. |
| #2857: | Your "theory of love" guides your romantic life. At first, it is naïve and narcissistic, but disaster will refine it — if you survive. |
| #2861: | Government is a process that starts with passion but ends in lifeless bureaucracy. |
| #2863: | The sadness of life is how much there is to do and how little of it we can actually do. |

| #2920: | Let it be said that you crammed as much life as possible into your final years on Earth. |
| #2924: | My mom/dad/country/religion is the best one in the whole world! One of the great traumas in life is discovering it ain't so. |
