“The purpose of philosophy is not to help men find a meaning in life, but to prove to them that there isn't any”

“In our factions, we find meaning, we find purpose, we find life.”

“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.”

“Humans need their lives to make sense and to have meaning and purpose. Lack of meaning and purpose can override both the natural pace of progression to death and the instinctive struggle for life. People may sacrifice their lives in order to achieve meaning and purpose, or they may commit suicide in order to avoid meaninglessness. The role of medicine here is to expose false beliefs for which people may sacrifice themselves, and to help find realistic meanings that make life worthwhile.”

“Sometimes I think the purpose of life is to reconcile us to its eventual loss by wearing us down, by proving, however long it takes, that life isn't all it's cracked up to be.”
