There is something very satisfactory about being in the middle of something.

The middle way is a view of life that avoids the extreme of misguided grasping born of believing there is something we can find, or buy, or cling to that will not change. And it avoids the despair and nihilism born from the mistaken belief that nothing matters, that all is meaningless.

I don't accept the idea that there are two sides to any issue. I think that the middle ground is to be found within most of us.

Life is not so much about beginnings and endings as it is about going on and on and on. It is about muddling through the middle.

I think almost everything in life is life-experience, personality-driven.

If life isn't about human beings and living in harmony, then I don't know what it's about.

Life is generally something that happens elsewhere.

Sometimes, we find common ground; more often, we don't.

The epic implications of being human end in more than this: We start our lives as if they were momentous stories, with a beginning, a middle and an appropriate end, only to find that they are mostly middles.
