Living Life
Tomorrow's fate, though thou be wise, Thou canst not tell
nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not today in vain, For it
will never come again.
-- Omar Khayyam
1048-1131, Persian
Astronomer, Poet
Life is short;
live it up.
-- Nikita Khrushchev
1894-1971, Soviet Premier
It is quite
true what Philosophy says: that Life must be understood
backwards. But that makes one forget the other saying: that
it must be lived --forwards. The more one ponders this, the
more it comes to mean that life in the temporal existence
never becomes quite intelligible, precisely because at no
moment can I find complete quiet to take the
backward-looking position.
-- Soren Kierkegaard
1813-1855, Danish
Philosopher, Writer
Life can only
be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.

Life is not a
problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Life must be
lived forward, but can only be understood backwards.
-- Soren Kierkegaard
1813-1855, Danish
Philosopher, Writer
This is what
is sad when one contemplates human life, that so many live
out their lives in quiet lostness... they live, as it were,
away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal
souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the
question of its immortality, because they are already
disintegrated before they die.
-- Soren Kierkegaard
1813-1855, Danish
Philosopher, Writer
