“Birth and death were easy. It was life that was hard.”
“If Life were easy, it would not be hard”
“The choice in this life is not between easy and hard, but between kinds of hardship, between a hardship that gives birth to wisdom, compassion and mercy, and the hardship that keeps on replicating itself to no end.”
“If birth is a manifestation of life, death is another.”
“Where there's life, death is inevitable. Dying's easy; it's living that's hard. The harder it gets, the stronger the will to live. And the greater the fear of death, the greater the struggle to keep on living.”
“Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.”
