Either God is alive, in which case he'll deal with us as he sees fit. Or he is dead, in which case he was never alive, it being unlikely that he died of old age. John Ralston Saul
When I was teaching in the 1960s in Boston, there was a great deal of hope in the air. Martin Luther King Jr. was alive, Malcolm X was alive; great, great leaders were emerging from the southern freedom movement. Jonathan Kozol
Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are. Miguel Angel Ruiz
The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual. Polly Berrien Berends
It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive. James A. Baldwin
Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive. Haruki Murakami
Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll... Haruki Murakami
Marcus Aurelius quote: "When you arise in the moring, think of what a precious..."
When you arise in the moring, think of what a precious privelege it is to be alive-- to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love Marcus Aurelius
Wislawa Szymborska quote: "Woods disguised as woods alive without end, and above them..."
Woods disguised as woods alive without end, and above them birds in flight play birds in flight. Wislawa Szymborska
Ken Follet quote: "If it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul..."
If it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. Ken Follet
Tom Robbins quote: "If being alive is not a virtue, then there is little virtue in..."
If being alive is not a virtue, then there is little virtue in virtue. Tom Robbins
You don't smoke do you?"No, why?"They're afraid of fire."Great, we're going to be eaten alive because neither of us smokes." I almost laughed. He sounded so thoroughly disguste? Laurell K. Hamilton
Irvine Welsh quote: "This is what being alive's all about, all those fucked up..."
This is what being alive's all about, all those fucked up feelings. You've got to have them; when you stop, watch out. Irvine Welsh
Christ, it is sad, sad to see on quite a few of these faces - young ones particularly - a glum, defeated look. Why do they feel this way about their lives? Sure, they are underpaid. Sure, they have no great prospects, in the commercial sense. Sure, they can't enjoy the bliss of mingling with corporation executives.
