Existence Quotes (page 85)

I'm vile and perverted. I'm obsessed and deranged. I've existed for years but very little has changed. I'm the tool of the government and industry too. For I'm destined to rule and regulate you. You may think I'm pernicious, but you can't look away. I'll make you think I'm delicious with the stuff that I say. I'm the best you can get... have you guessed me yet? I'm the slime oozing out of your TV set.... Frank Zappa
Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote: "If Someone wants a sheep, then that means that he exists."
If Someone wants a sheep, then that means that he exists. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He lay on his chair with his hands clasped above his paunch not reading, or sleeping, but basking like a creature gorged with existence. Virginia Woolf
Living in a big city can be compared to existing in a jungle. One becomes a creature of the environment. The response to the rhythms and choreography is visceral and before long a dweller's conduct is as distinctive as those of a jungle inhabitant. Will Eisner
It is part of the irony of life that the strongest feelings of devoted gratitude of which human nature seems to be susceptible, are called forth in human beings towards those who, having the power entirely to crush their earthly existence, voluntarily refrain from using that power. John Stuart Mill
Charles Baudelaire quote: "The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the..."
The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that he did not exist. Charles Baudelaire
Jean-Paul Sartre quote: "Every existing thing is born without reason, goes on living..."
Every existing thing is born without reason, goes on living out of weakness, and dies by accident. Jean-Paul Sartre
Only a man of integrity can possess the virtue of honesty, since only the faking of one’s consciousness can permit the faking of existence. Ayn Rand
To create, I destroyed myself; I made myself external to such a degree within myself that within myself I do not exist except in an external fashion. I am the living setting in which several actors make entrances, putting on several different plays. Fernando Pessoa
If life? the craving for which is the very essence of our being? were possessed of any positive intrinsic value, there would be no such thing as boredom at all: mere existence would satisfy us in itself, and we should want for nothing. Arthur Schopenhauer
School days, I believe, are the unhappiest in the whole span of human existence. They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and unpleasant ordinances, brutal violations of common sense and common decency. It doesn't take a reasonably bright boy long to discover that most of what is rammed into him is nonsense, and that no one really cares very much whether he learns it or not. H. L. Mencken
I like contradictions. We have never attained the infinite variety and contradictions that exist in nature. Tomorrow I shall contradict myself. That is the one way I have of asserting my liberty, the real liberty one does not find as a member of society. Man Ray
I have never since entirely freed myself of the impression that this life is a segment of existence which is enacted in a three-dimensional boxlike universe especially set up for it. Carl Jung
Of all the questions which can come before this nation, short of the actual preservation of its existence in a great war, there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us. Theodore Roosevelt
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Compassion is the chief law of human existence."
Compassion is the chief law of human existence. Fyodor Dostoevsky
