Jan 27, 2016 at 11:03 comment added TimR "The life" refers to a particular life. But a life does not "occur" as once implies that it does. We are still in the realm of the metaphorical. The grammatical categories are still being disrupted. A grammatical version would be "We live only once." or "We are alive only once".
