Quotes

We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love. Robert Fulghum
Love is the grand prize and the garbage heap. Love is a spiritual root canal and the only thing that makes life worth living. Love is a little taste of always and a big bite of nothing. And love is everything in between these extremes. Robert Fulghum
I am sometimes amazed at what we did not fully grasp in kindergarten. In the years I was a parish minister I was always taken aback when someone came to me and said. 'I've just come from the doctor and he told me I have only a limited time to live'. I was always tempted to shout 'WHAT? You didn't know? You had to pay a doctor to tell you - at your age? Where were you the week in kingergarten when you got the little cup with the cotton and water and seed? Life happened - remember? A plant grew... Robert Fulghum
I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have - I can reflect light into the dark places of this world - into the black places in the hearts of men - and change somethings in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life. Robert Fulghum
So you drive as far as you can, even when you can clearly read the sign. You want to think you are exempt, that it doesn’t apply to you. But it does. Life is still a dead end. And we still have a hard time believing it Robert Fulghum
Robert Fulghum quote: "Just when you thought that you already learned the way how to..."
Just when you thought that you already learned the way how to live, life changes - and you're left the same as you begun. Robert Fulghum
Nobody goes "AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" when they sing it. Maybe because it puts the life adventure in such clear and simple terms. The small creature is alive and looks for adventure. Here's the drainpipe--a long tunnel going up toward some light. The spider doesn't even think about it--just goes. Disaster befalls it--rain, flood, powerful foces. And the spider is knocked down and out beyond where it started. Does the spider say, "To hell with that"? No. Sun comes out--clears... Robert Fulghum
Until you have experienced raccoons mating underneath your bedroom at three in the morning, you have missed one of life's sensational moments. Robert Fulghum
Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw some and paint some and sing and dance and play and work everyday some. Robert Fulghum
Every person passing through this life will unknowingly leave something and take something away. Most of this “something” cannot be seen or heard or numbered or scientifically detected or counted. It’s what we leave in the minds of other people and what they leave in ours. Memory. The census doesn’t count it. Nothing counts without it. Robert Fulghum
Making a living and having a life are not the same thing. Making a living and making a life that's worthwhile are not the same thing. Living the good life and living a good life are not the same thing. A job title doesn't even come close to answering the question. "What do you do?". Robert Fulghum
Robert Fulghum quote: "And good neighbors make a huge difference in the quality of..."
And good neighbors make a huge difference in the quality of life. I agree. Robert Fulghum
Robert Fulghum quote: "Now Everybody has some secret goals in life...Sometimes you..."
Now Everybody has some secret goals in life...Sometimes you can get what you want and what you need at the sames time. Robert Fulghum
Any fool can make enough money to survive. It's another thing to keep yourself consistently entertained. It's a lot of work, and a lot of fun, to make a life. Robert Fulghum
Robert Fulghum quote: "If I don't have time to live my life well the first time, when..."
If I don't have time to live my life well the first time, when am I going to find the time to go back and live it over? Robert Fulghum
