...life has no meaning

Life or human existence has no real meaning or purpose because human existence occurred out of a random chance in nature, and anything that exists by chance has no intended purpose.^[163]
Life has no meaning, but as humans we try to associate a meaning or purpose so we can justify our existence.^[6]
There is no point in life, and that is exactly what makes it so special.^[6]

...one should not seek to know and understand the meaning of life

The answer to the meaning of life is too profound to be known and understood.^[163]
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.^[6]
The meaning of life is to forget about the search for the meaning of life.^[6]
One should live the life given to you instead.

...'life sucks'

Life is a bitch, and then you die.^[136]
Life sucks and in the end you die.^[170]
