Life isn't a tiptoe through the tulips.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Life throws some curveballs at you and you go where it takes you.
I think life throws enough curveballs that you shouldn't make such a big deal out of everything.
Life isn't what it's like in the movies.
Flowers heal me. Tulips make me happy. I keep myself surrounded by them as soon as they start coming to the island from Canada, and after that when they come from the fields in La Connor, not far from where I live.
Life is like a trumpet - if you don't put anything into it, you don't get anything out of it.
'Tulip Fever' did change my life. It did that thing that sometimes happens when a book takes off - it opened doors on to whole other worlds.
Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.
Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.
Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.
How can you be content to be in the world like tulips in a garden, to make a fine show, and be good for nothing.
