“The breath that sharpens life is life itself.”

“Life is slow dying.”

“In life, as in art, talking vitiates doing.”

“I feel the only thing you can do about life is to preserve it, by art if you're an artist, by children if you're not.”

“One of the quainter quirks of life is that we shall never know who dies on the same day as we do ourselves.”

“I had a moral tutor, but never saw him (the only words of his I remember are 'The three pleasures of life -drinking, smoking, and masturbation')”

“life is first boredom, then fear.whether or not we use it, it goes,and leaves what something hidden from us chose,and age, and then the only end of age.”
