Arthur Rubinstein

Life is the game that must be played, this truth at least, good friends, we know; so live and laugh, nor be dismayed as one by one the phantoms go.

To be alive, to be able to see, to walk, to have houses, music, paintings - it's all a miracle. I have adopted the technique of living life miracle to miracle.

Even when I'm sick and depressed, I love life.

Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you don't set any condition.

I'm passionately involved in life: I love its change, its color, its movement. To be alive, to be able to see, to walk, to have houses, music, paintings - it's all a miracle.

I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.
