Life Quotes (page 433)

The One remains, the many change and pass; Heaven's light forever shines, Earth's shadows fly; Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass, Stains the white radiance of Eternity, Until Death tramples it to fragments---Die, If thou wouldst be with that which thou dost seek! Percy Bysshe Shelley
Jack Kerouac quote: "We lay on our backs, looking at the ceiling and wondering what..."
We lay on our backs, looking at the ceiling and wondering what God had wrought when He made life so sad. Jack Kerouac
Loving you is not a choice, It's who I am. Loving you is not a choice. And not much reason to rejoice, But it gives me purpose. Gives me voice to say to the world: This is why I live. You are why I live. Loving you is why I do. The things I do. Loving you is not in my control. But loving you, I have a goal. For what's left of my life... I would live, And I would die for you. Stephen Sondheim

I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Eleanor Roosevelt
Someone did a study on the cell phone calls made from the Twin Towers as they fell. The question: Was there any pattern in what people said? The researcher expected they would find repeated SOSes—pleas for life, asking for absolution—but there was remarkably little of that. Instead, what the people said over and over again as they died, what they sent out across the sea of static: “I love you. These words, when said sincerely, have the capacity to right our wrongs, and live on long... Rosie O'Donnell
Jack L. Chalker quote: "Just because your whole life is going to hell doesn't mean you..."
Just because your whole life is going to hell doesn't mean you have to walk there. Jack L. Chalker
the greatest service we can do to education today is to teach fewer subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects, we destroy his standards, perhaps for life. C. S. Lewis
I don’t want my thoughts to die with me, I want to have done something. I’m not interested in power, or piles of money. I want to leave something behind. I want to make a positive contribution - know that my life has meaning. Temple Grandin
Mark Twain quote: "Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of..."
Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life. Mark Twain
Anthony Burgess quote: "Put it off for a bit. All life is putting off. Well, not..."
Put it off for a bit. All life is putting off. Well, not entirely. Anthony Burgess
I do struggle because I’m attracted to beautiful things, yet at the same time I am actually very aware, in some sense, their lack of value and that the most important things in life are your connections to other people. Tom Ford
But when the self speaks to the self, who is speaking?—the entombed soul, the spirit driven in, in, in to the central catacomb; the self that took the veil and left the world—a coward perhaps, yet somehow beautiful, as it flits with its lantern restlessly up and down the dark corridors. 'I can bear it no longer,' her spirit says. 'That man at lunch—Hilda—the children.' Oh, heavens, her sob! It's the spirit wailing its destiny, the spirit driven hither, thither, lodging on the diminishing... Virginia Woolf
Grownups know things, said Piggy. They ain't afraid of the dark. They'd meet and have tea and discuss. Then things 'ud be alright---They wouldn't set fire to the island. Or lose---They'd build a ship---The three boys stood in the darkness, striving unsuccessfully to convey the majesty of adult life. They wouldn't quarrel---Or break my specs---Or talk about a beast---If only they could get a message to us, cried Ralph desperately. If only they could send us something grownup. . . a sign or... William Golding
She thinks her sister has held life always in the palm of one hand, that "no" is a word the world never learned to say to her. Alice Walker
