Kafka said, "The unexamined life is not worth living"--is that a joke? It was Socrates. About 2000 years of history separating those two guys.

^ hehe, doesn't matter who said it, it's the words that count 
I like this one:
"No one achieves frivolity straight off. It is a privilege and an art; it is the pursuit of the superficial by those who, having discerned the impossibility of any certitude, have conceived a disgust for such things; it is the escape far from one abyss or another which, being by nature bottomless, can lead nowhere."
E. M. Cioran
And this one:
“Remember that no man loses any other life than this which he now lives, nor lives any other than this which he now loses.”
Marcus Aurelius
