Life Quotes (page 324)

I am afraid I am one of those people who continues to read in the hope of sometime discovering in a book a single—and singular—piece of wisdom so penetrating, so soul stirring, so utterly applicable to my own life as to make all the bad books I have read seem well worth the countless hours spent on them. My guess is that this wisdom, if it ever arrives, will do so in the form of a generalization. Joseph Epstein

Sometimes that's all life is... One desperate act after another. Terry Goodkind
You must learn that that’s what friends and family are for – to be imposed upon. One of the Cardinal Rules, if you want to get through life without overexerting yourself, is that, when all else fails, fall back on friends and relations. David Eddings
Back to him she would never go, but in her lonely life still lived the sweet memory of that happy time when she believed in him and he was all in all to her. Louisa May Alcott
Regret, Daisy knew, was the only confirmation of a well-lived life. If you didn’t occasionally go too far, you weren’t going anywhere Chuck Palahniuk
Charles loved her voice. It was so soft and blurred, like pastels. It made his neck tingle just to listen to her. It gave him the same delicious feeling he had as he hovered on the brink of sleep and this feeling - until now - had been the single most pleasant feeling in his life. It was the voice that coloured everything he now thought about her. It was shy and tentative and musical. Sometimes he did not manage to hear the words she said, but he did not let on about his deafness. Peter Carey
There was no sense to life, to the structure of things. D.H. Lawrence had known that. You needed love, but not the kind of love most people used and were used up by. Old D.H. had known something. His buddy Huxley was just an intellectual fidget, but what a marvelous one. Better than G.B. Shaw with that hard keel of a mind always scraping bottom, his labored wit finally only a task, a burden on himself, preventing him from really feeling anything, his brilliant speech finally a bore, scraping... Charles Bukowski
Joan Didion quote: "1966 and 1968 were a world removed from each other in the..."
1966 and 1968 were a world removed from each other in the political and cultural life of the United States . . . Joan Didion
Disease, and most specially opprobrious, suppressed, secret disease, creates a certain critical opposition to the world, to mediocre life, disposes a man to be obstinate and ironical toward civil order, so that he seeks refuge in free thought, in books, in study. Thomas Mann
Henry Drummond quote: "Any experiment that can benefit by one hairsbreadth any single..."
Any experiment that can benefit by one hairsbreadth any single human life is a thousand times worth trying. Henry Drummond
George R. R. Martin quote: "If life was worthless, what was death?"
If life was worthless, what was death? George R. R. Martin
Alan Watts quote: "Just as money is not real, consumable wealth, books are not..."
Just as money is not real, consumable wealth, books are not life. To idolize scriptures is like eating paper currency. Alan Watts
Every woman wants to be first to someone sometime in her life and that desire is the explanation for many strange things women do. Eleanor Roosevelt
This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life. Ralph Waldo Emerson
There will be time, there will be time. To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; There will be time to murder and create. And time for all the works and days of hands. That life and drop a question on your plate; T. S. Eliot
