“We have three lives: one that we live, one that we dream, and one that we remember.”

“We all have two lives: The true, the one we dreamed of in childhood And go on dreaming of as adults in a substratum of mist; the false, the one we love when we live with others, the practical, the useful, the one we end up by being put in a coffin.”

“There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three—body, mind, or soul—can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression.”

“We all have two lives. The one we are given and the one we create.”

“The stories we hear in our childhood are the ones we remember all our lives.”

“If we have only one life to live, we might as well not have lived at all.”
