“The meaning of life is life itself.”

“Mechanics is a means or discipline for the realization of life, but not life itself. It ought to carry us to life itself.”

“We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself.”

“That means life itself is a fairy tale. Like the characters, we all live and love and search for a happily-ever-after.”

“‎"If there is no God, then man and the universe are doomed. Like prisoners condemned to death, we await our unavoidable execution. There is no God, and there is no immortality. And what is the consequence of this? It means that life itself is absurd. It means that the life we have is without ultimate significance, value, or purpose.”

“To furnish the means of acquiring knowledge is ... the greatest benefit that can be conferred upon mankind. It prolongs life itself and enlarges the sphere of existence.”
