Alive Quotes (page 51)

In trying to make the slave experience intimate, I hoped the sense of things being both under control and out of control would be persuasive throughout; that the order and quietitude of every day life would be violently disrupted by the chaos of the needy dead; that the herculean effort to forget would be threatened by memory desperate to stay alive. To render enslavement as a personal experience, language must first get out of the way. Toni Morrison
Stephen King quote: "We always assumed the aliens would have to at least be alive..."
We always assumed the aliens would have to at least be alive to invade. Not even H.G. Wells expected an invasion of ghosts. Stephen King
If there’s any other message in this to readers, it’s in these two characters as icons of hope, that it doesn’t make any difference where you come from, or where you went to school, or who you are, there’s hope. That a kid from Jersey with Superman as the icon that kept him alive for years would one day end up writing the character is as absoutely unlikely as it is utterly inevitable. And if that’s true for me, it’s true for you, if you follow your dreams and your passions in full... J. Michael Straczynski
Eric Hoffer quote: "To be fully alive is to feel that everything is possible."
To be fully alive is to feel that everything is possible. Eric Hoffer
I believe that we, that this planet, hasn't seen its Golden Age. Everybody says its finished ... art's finished, rock and roll is dead, God is dead. Fuck that! This is my chance in the world. I didn't live back there in Mesopotamia, I wasn't there in the Garden of Eden, I wasn't there with Emperor Han, I'm right here right now and I want now to be the Golden Age ...if only each generation would realise that the time for greatness is right now when they're alive ... the time to flower is now. Patti Smith
It had been only through books-at best, no more than vicarious cultural transfusions-that I had managaed to keep myself alive in a negatively vital way. Whenever my environment had failed to support or nourish me, I had clutched at books... Richard Wright
He's out here, somewhere, and he wants you dead,' she said. 'Him as killed your family. Us in the graveyard, we wants you to stay alive. We wants you to surprise us and disappoint us and impress us and amaze us. Come home, Bod. Neil Gaiman
Thomas Hardy quote: "The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing alive enough to..."
The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing alive enough to have strength to die. (from "Neutral Tones") Thomas Hardy
I am thrilled to be alive at time when humanity is pushing against the limits of understanding. Even better, we may eventually discover that there are no limits. Richard Dawkins
Marian and I avoided all further reference to that other subject, which by her consent and mine, was not to be mentioned between us yet. It was not the less present in our minds--it was rather kept alive in them by the restraint which we had imposed on ourselves Wilkie Collins
Here. All of you. And you, doorkeeper. No one is to be let out of the house today. And anyone I catch talking about this young lady will be first beaten to death and then burned alive and after that be kept on bread and water for six weeks. There. C. S. Lewis
Henry David Thoreau quote: "To be awake is to be completely alive. I have never yet met a..."
To be awake is to be completely alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake. Henry David Thoreau
From one point of view the Transcendent Other is nature correctly perceived to be alive and intelligent. From another it is the awesomely unfamiliar union of all the senses with memory of the past and anticipation of the future. The Transcendent Other is what one encounters on powerful hallucinogens. It is the crucible of the Mystery of our being, both as a species and as individuals. The Transcendent Other is Nature without her cheerfully reassuring mask of ordinary space, time, and causality. Terence McKenna
And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right. Ray Bradbury
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Isn't a kid alive who doesn't dream about rewarding her folks,..."
Isn't a kid alive who doesn't dream about rewarding her folks, or punishing them. Chuck Palahniuk
