Life Quotes Quote by Oliver W. Sacks — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.”

“Regret is counterproductive. It's looking back on a past that you can't change. Questioning things as they occur can prevent regret in the future.”

“no, no, it's not all random, if it really was all random, the universe would abandon us completely. and the universe doesn't. it takes care of its most fragile creations in ways we can't see. like with parents who adore you blindly. and a big sister who feels guilty for being human over you. and a little gravelly-voiced kid whose friends have left him over you. and even a pink-haired girl who carries your picture in her wallet. maybe it is a lottery, but the universe makes it all even out in the end. the universe takes care of all its birds.”

“All human beings have three lives: public, private, and secret.”

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
