Come alive

“Practically everyone is a manic depressive of sorts, with his up moments and his down moments, and you certainly don’t have to be a humorist to taste the sadness of situation and mood. But there is often a rather fine line between laughing and crying, and if a humorous piece of writing brings a person to the point where his emotional responses are untrustworthy and seem likely to break over into the opposite realm, it is because humor, like poetry, has an extra content.”

~ E.B. White, (Some Remarks On Humor, 1941)

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

“How freely we live depends both on our political system and on our vigilance in defending its liberties. How long we live depends both on our genes and on the quality of our health care. How well we live – that is, how thoughtfully, how nobly, how virtuously, how joyously, how lovingly – depends both on our philosophy and on the way we apply it to all else.”
~ Lou Marinoff (Plato Not Prozac)
