Louisa May Alcott quote: "You have so many extraordinary gifts; how can you expect to..."
You have so many extraordinary gifts; how can you expect to lead an ordinary life? Louisa May Alcott
But no moral philosopher, from Aristotle to Aquinas, to John Locke and Adam Smith, divorced economics from a set of moral ends or held the production of wealth to be an end in itself; rather it was seen as a means to the realization of virtue, a means of leading a civilized life. Daniel Bell
And I do not want anymore to be useful, to be docile, to lead / children out of the fields into the text / of civility, to teach them that they are (they are not) better than the grass. Mary Oliver

The selfmoment I could pray; And from my neck so free. The Albatross fell off, and sank. Like lead into the sea. Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There are moments in our lives when we summon the courage to make choices that go against reason, against common sense and the wise counsel of people we trust.

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things. Henry David Thoreau
Old birds like Orlovius are wonderfully easy to lead by the beak, because a combination of decency and sentimentality is exactly equal to being a fool. Vladimir Nabokov
John Kenneth Galbraith quote: "Men of conservative temperament have long suspected that one..."
Men of conservative temperament have long suspected that one thing leads to another. John Kenneth Galbraith
the king he allowed he would drop over to t'other village without any plan, but just trust in Providence to lead him the profitable way - meaning the devil, I reckon. Mark Twain
William Shakespeare quote: "This is the very ecstasy of love, whose violent property..."
This is the very ecstasy of love, whose violent property ordoes itself and leads the will to desperate undertakings. William Shakespeare
I'm not living the life I thought I would lead, but it does have meaning, purpose. There is love... there is joy... there is laughter. Christopher Reeve
It is one of the strange discoveries a man can make that life, however you lead it, contains moments of exhilaration; there are always comparisons which can be made with worse times: even in danger and misery the pendulum swings. Graham Greene
How different each death is, and yet it leads us into the self-same country, that country which we inhabit so rarely, where we see the worthlessness of what we have long pursued and will so soon return to pursuing. Iris Murdoch
So she learned ways of conserving bits of seconds. Long before the train ground to a stop at her station, she pushed her way to the door to be one of the first expelled when it slid open. Out of the train, she ran like a deer, circling the crowd to be the first up the stairs leading to the street. Walking to the office, she kept close to the buildings so she could turn corners sharply. She crossed streets kittycorner to save stepping off and on an extra pair of curbs. At the building,...
