1001 Thoughts on the Meaning of Life: A Collection of Answers to The Ultimate Question

1001 Thoughts on The Meaning of Life is a collection of quotes, poems and aphorisms that address life's ultimate question. The world's greatest philosophers, scientists, poets, artists, authors, intellectuals and leaders dating from Plato to present day are brought together in this single volume to share their hard-earned words of wisdom about life, meaning and purpose.

Although Oscar Wilde famously said, "He who lives more lives than one, more deaths than one must die," 1001 Thoughts on The Meaning of Life provides the reader with an opportunity to gain the knowledge derived from the lives of the wise without having to endure their deaths. In so doing, we defy Oscar Wilde's observation by distilling the wisdom of the many into the life of one.
