Existence Quotes (page 55)

Yukio Mishima quote: "...living is merely the chaos of existence..."
...living is merely the chaos of existence... Yukio Mishima
...there is also such a thing as ersatz happiness, perhaps happiness exists only as an ersatz, perhaps all happiness is an ersatz for happiness. Gunter Grass
You can't love anyone or anything until you love your own existence first. Love can only grow out of a respect for your own life. Terry Goodkind
pain, pleasure and death are no more than a process for existence. The revolutionary struggle in this process is a doorway open to intelligence Frida Kahlo
He knew what retributions your devils are liable to bring for the way you treat your wife and women or behave while your father is on his deathbed, what you ought to think of your pleasure, of acting like a cockroach; he had the intelligence for the comparison. He had the intelligence to be sublime. But sublimity can't exist only as a special gift of the few, due to an accident of origin, like being born an albino. If it were, what interest would we have in it? Saul Bellow
The market culture is total. It breeds these men and women. They are necessary to the system they despise. They give it energy and definition. They are market-driven. They are traded on the market of the world. This is why they exist, to invigorate and perpetuate the system. Don DeLillo
It has been proved that the land can exist without the country - and be better for it; it has not been proved that the country can live without the land. Alice Walker
Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangereous. More dangereous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions. Primo Levi
And my grandfather... was forever knocked into that middle place, unable to worship a God in whose existence he could not wholly disbelieve. Permanent alteration: a hole. Salman Rushdie
What do I know about God and the purpose of life? I know that this world exists. That I am placed in it like my eye in its visual field. That something about it is problematic, which we call its meaning. This meaning does not lie in it but outside of it. That life is the world. That my will penetrates the world. That my will is good or evil. Therefore that good and evil are somehow connected with the meaning of the world. The meaning of life, i. e. the meaning of the world, we can call God.... Ludwig Wittgenstein
Ayn Rand quote: "The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it..."
The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours. Ayn Rand
[Hers] was an existence between heaven and earth... beyond her stretched as far as the eye could see... an immense space of joys and passions...[But] did not love, like flowers, need a special soil, a particular temperature? Sighs by moonlight, long embraces, tears cried into yielding hands...the fevers of the flesh and the langours of tenderness... Gustave Flaubert
No one has yet believed in God and the kingdom of God, no one has yet heard about the realm of the resurrected, and not been homesick from that hour, waiting and looking forward joyfully to being released from bodily existence. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
## "Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence of that which is man: for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the Morality of Life and that yours is the battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth Ayn Rand
I am. I am, I exist, I think, therefore I am; I am because I think, why do I think? I don't want to think any more, I am because I think that I don't want to be, I think that I . . . because . . . ugh! Jean-Paul Sartre
