Quote

I don't think you can ever make enough to be set for life. Well, I guess there are limits. In the billions, I guess.

For one who reads, there is no limit to the number of lives that may be lived, for fiction, biography, and history offer an inexhaustible number of lives in many parts of the world, in all periods of time.

It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.

If something comes to life in others because of you, then you have made an approach to immortality.

The longer I live, the more I am enabled to realize that I have but one life to live on Earth, and that this one life is but a brief life, for sowing, in comparison with eternity, for reaping.

I believe that if we get out of people's way, the sky's the limit. The sky is the limit.

You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.

Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times. And a very small number really.

Each life makes its own immitation of immortality.

Our minds are finite, and yet even in these circumstances of finitude we are surrounded by possibilities that are infinite, and the purpose of life is to grasp as much as we can out of that infinitude.
