Wonderful selection of quotes. Thank you, Seneca.
I particularly love that Heraclitus one.
Cheers,

"Sometimes new day greets us with sunshine, sometimes with black clouds. For me only one thing’s for sure in this constantly changing world: you are my love, my life, my paradise. And I will endlessly repeat it to you, my hero. I will always be by your side and drive away all sorrows. Good morning!" - quotes about love
life is like jokes - my great quotes

Have always loved this one. Inspired by an image from Voyager 1, 4 billion miles from Earth, the furthest image ever taken from Earth, or was at that time, Carl Sagan, the pale blue dot:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam"

cant forget Ricky Gervais -

"Being alive is fucking brilliant. And then it ends. For ever. Our atoms scattered around the universe and used for other shit. Perfect."

A shame so much of Gervais' comedy is based on cruelty. I speak as one who has interviewed him at length.
Otherwise, great quotes!
