In spite of everything life is not without hope.

Life is miraculous. Even when it's disastrous, it's still incredible.

Life carries on In the people I meet In everyone that’s out on the street In all the dogs and cats In the flies and rats In the rot and the rust In the ashes and the dust Life carries on and on and on and on.

It's possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems.

It is the peculiar nature of the world to go on spinning no matter what sort of heartbreak is happening.

Life did not stop, and one had to live.

"We live in these paradoxes, the many pushes and pulls. While it is true that our happiness does not depend on the external circumstances, we balance that truth with the reality of this world. We are affected by what happens around us. It would be unrealistic to say to someone experiencing tragedy, "This shouldn't have any effect on you." It will take a toll. At the same time, when we are at our worst, we sometimes find our best. We do overcome tragedies, we do go on to find happiness. The sun does break through the darkness. And in the midst of death, we sometimes find life."

one of the wonderful things, in spite of all the terrible things that happen in South Africa, is the way people continue to keep their dignity. They continue to love, to laugh, to get pleasure out of life.

Our national story has its full share of grief and pain as well as triumph and expectation. But through it all, hope remains and dreams do not die.

Life and love go on...

...I learned that it's possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems, and that in time, the grief...lessens. It may not ever go away completely, but after a while it's not overwhelming.

English: "Through and despite everything, we're still going"

Life goes on, yes, and our capacity for self-deception accompanies it.

Life continued, the wheel turned, the earth moved, and even death—that delightful biological necessity—was an aspect of life.
