Life is what tells you to smile and kicks you in the teeth at the same time.

Life is like a rollercoaster, up, down and derailment

Life is a suitcase, you get out of it what you put in it.. And sometimes even a surprise or two..

... and might I add to the suitcase simile, you bring back more than what you started with (whether good or bad is up to you).

Life is like a home heating system, it's good, but it costs you.

THIS!

LOL... Sorry, couldn't resist.

"Life is like a sewer: what you get out of it depends on what you put into it."
Guess who said that?

Life is like an advertised product. It looks good, but it always arrives in the mail three months late or broken.

Life is like the ultimate crooked card game. You can't win, you can't break even, and you can't even quit the game. But it's the only game in town.

So true

Life is like your mother filling your dinner plate. There are a lot of things that are your choice but some of it is things you didn't ask for.

"Life's a piece of ****,
When you look at it."

Sorry, I have these damn quotes running through my head!

"Time is an invention of man purposed to measure his demise."

"Our understanding of life is historically over-shadowed by our mis-understandings of death."

One of those, I'd heard years ago, but can't recall (or find) who said it. The other, I made up... any guesses ?

Oooh, I know!

Here's a few more:

"The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win you're still a rat."

"Lives are like pub!c hairs, some are finer than others, some are coarser than others, some are nonexistent... but for the most part, they are all pretty twisted"

One of those I found online, the other I just made up. Can you guess?

If life is a bowl of cherries, why am I in the pits?

Life! Don't talk to me about life!

On a slightly more positive note:

Life is a banquet, and most poor s*kkers are starving to death!

My favorite author. He also gave the best definition of love I have ever heard. "Love is that condition where the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

That is one of the best difinitions of love I've ever heard, WAY better than those fake storybook ones!

Shameless name dropping: I met the man and had a brief conversation with him.

A real gentleman.

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. -

Life is like photography - you develop from the negatives.

My RPG-obsessed friend once said: Life is like a scary game with astonishing graphics. You can't load your last save if you screw up
