What is life?

The hardest thing there ever is to define. My favorite quote is the first one.
-------------------------------------------

1."My momma always said life was like a box of chocolates…you never know what you're gonna get." -Forrest Gump

2. "Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it." -Christopher Morley

3. "Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome." -Isaac Asimov

4. "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." - Mark Twain

5. "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." -Martin Luther King, Jr.

6. "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on."
-Robert Frost

7. "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms; Then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,In fair round belly with good capon lin'd, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything." -William Shakespeare

8. "You can't escape history, or the needs and neuroses you've picked up like layers and layers of tartar on your teeth." -Charles Johnson

9. "Life... is like a box of chocolates - a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while you're watching the game. Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it's gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper." -The X-Files (copiers but I guess it makes sense.)

10. "Life's like a novel with the end ripped out." -Danny Orton and Blair Daly
