If philosophy is practice a demand to know the manner in which its history is to be studied is entailed: a theoretical attitude toward it becomes real only in the living appropriation of its contents from the texts.

To so enter into it in nature and art that the enjoyed meanings of life may become a part of living is the attitude of aesthetic appreciation.

I have this theory that depending on your attitude your life doesn't have to become this ridiculous charade that it seems so many people end up living.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Civilization is a method of living an attitude of equal respect for all men.

The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mode of happiness but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change happiness like a child must be allowed to grow up.

Art is not living. It is the use of living.

The art of living is the art of knowing how to believe lies.

To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.

Art is why I get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know I don't think its fair that I'm living for something I can't even define.
