Life Quotes (page 286)

All these things that crib and cab in your brain, in your imagination, are in fact things that might well in later life drive you insane. Diana Wynne Jones
Aristotle quote: "In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a..."
In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. Aristotle
The most mortifying fact of my life is something that happened when I was fourteen and I have never admitted to anyone: not to friends nor therapists; not even in rehab when we were detailing our own personal spirals of shame did I confess. It is this: I am a graduate of the Barbizon School of Modeling. Augusten Burroughs
Curiosity and irreverence go together. Curiosity cannot exist without the other. Curiosity asks, "Is this true?" "Just because this has always been the way, is the best or right way of life, the best or right religion, political or economic value, morality?" To the questioner, nothing is sacred. He detests dogma, defies any finite definition of morality, rebels against any repression of a free, open search of ideas no matter where they may lead. He is challenging, insulting, agitating,... Saul Alinsky
All things exist as they are perceived: at least in relation to the percipient. 'The mind is its own place, and of itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.' But poetry defeats the curse which binds us to be subjected to the accident of surrounding impressions. And whether it spreads its own figured curtain or withdraws life's dark veil from before the scene of things, it equally creates for us a being within our being. Percy Bysshe Shelley
Julia Cameron quote: "Creativity - like human life itself - begins in the dark"
Creativity - like human life itself - begins in the dark Julia Cameron
All men are tragic...All men are comic...Every man is important if he loses his life; and every man is funny if he loses his hat. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Nothing but Christianity will give you the victory. Until a man believes in his heart that Jesus Christ is his Lord and Master... his course through life will be neither safe nor pleasant. My only regret is that I was so long blinded by my pleasures, my vices and pursuits, and the examples of others that I was kept fr...om seeing, admiring, and adoring the marvelous light of the gospel. Francis Scott Key
The landscape of my days appears to be composed, like mountainous regions, of varied materials heaped up pell-mell. There I see my nature, itself composite, made up of equal parts of instinct and training. Here and there protrude the granite peaks of the inevitable, but all about is rubble from the landslips of chance. I strive to retrace my life to find in it some plan, following a vein of lead, or of gold, or the course of some subterranean stream, but such devices are only tricks of... Marguerite Yourcenar
I have just now come from a party where I was its life and soul; witticisms streamed from my lips, everyone laughed and admired me, but I went away? yes, the dash should be as long as the radius of the earth's orbit? and wanted to shoot myself. Soren Kierkegaard
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "Take advantage of it now, while you are young, and suffer all..."
Take advantage of it now, while you are young, and suffer all you can, because these things don't last your whole life. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
H. G. Wells quote: "We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to..."
We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery. H. G. Wells
Was I ignorant, then, when I was seventeen? I think not. I knew everything. A quarter-century's experience of life since then has added nothing to what I knew. The one difference is that at seventeen I had no 'realism'. Yukio Mishima
My mother is now in the hospital 60 miles away, where they are treating her pneumonia. I refuse to feel guilty. Guilt is a destructive emotion and doesn't fit in with my Life Plan. Sue Townsend
It was, at last, real life, with my heart safe and condemned to die of happy love in the joyful agony of any day after my hundredth birthday. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
