There's nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book.
Carson Mccullers
The period of earthly life in your greater existence is similar to the 15 minutes of fame you get down here...Everyone gets to share you in a different way. And both are dreams.
Julian Casablancas
Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience - by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence.
Herbert Read
Time is the most precious element of human existence. The successful person knows how to put energy into time and how to draw success from time.
Denis Waitley
The very impossibility in which I find myself to prove that God is not, discovers to me his existence.
Voltaire
Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.
Bret Harte
The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.
Buddha

Adrienne Rich
A man may fulfill the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
An unfulfilled vocation drains the color from a man's entire existence.
Honore de Balzac
Our experiments not only proved the existence of a nervous apparatus in the above-mentioned glands, but also disclosed some facts clearly showing the participation of these nerves in normal activity.
Ivan Pavlov
Even in the Western world, one cannot argue that the ideal has been achieved given the existence of issues like the integration, participation and representation of Muslim citizens, and occasional but lingering anti-Semitism.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Delude not yourself with the notion that you may be untrue and uncertain in trifles and in important things the contrary. Trifles make up existence, and give the measure by which to try us; and the fearful power of habit, after a time, suffers not the best will to ripen into action.
Carl Maria, Baron Von Weber
For me, the first fact of human existence is the human body. But if you embrace the reality of the human body, you embrace mortality, and that is a very difficult thing for anything to do because the self-conscious mind cannot imagine non-existence. It's impossible to do.
David Cronenberg
