Life Quotes (page 508)

The present state of the world and the whole of life is diseased. If I were a doctor and were asked for my advice, I should reply, 'Create silence'. Soren Kierkegaard
I told her about my life, I read into her ear the first drafts of my Sunday columns in which, without my saying so, she and she alone was present. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die...."
Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The sun,--the bright sun, that brings back, not light alone, but new life, and hope, and freshness to man--burst upon the crowded city in clear and radiant glory. Through costly-coloured glass and paper-mended window, through cathedral dome and rotten crevice, it shed its equal ray. Charles Dickens
Ernest Gaines quote: "How do people come up with a date and a time to take life from..."
How do people come up with a date and a time to take life from another man? Who made them God? Ernest Gaines
Critical and radical thought will only bear fruit when it is blended with the most precious quality man is endowed with - the love of life Erich Fromm
Sooner or later in life everyone discovers that perfect happiness is unrealizable, but there are few who pause to consider the antithesis: that perfect unhappiness is equally unattainable. The obstacles preventing the realization of both these extreme states are of the same nature: they derive from our human condition which is opposed to everything infinite. Primo Levi
Everything has seemed beckoning and ahead, though I am unsure now if life has not suddenly passed me like a big rumbling semi and left me flattened here by the road. Richard Ford
Albert Einstein quote: "I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the..."
I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind. Albert Einstein
_...It wasn't right to have someone charge into you your world without even asking, acting as if you were nothing more than an egg to be flipped and flopped, sunny-side up or scrambled, depending on the whims on whoever ran your life..._ Alice Hoffman
But there was a time when each of us stood naked before the world, confronting life as a serious problem with which we were intimately and passionately concerned... There was a time when Free Love versus Catholic Morality was a question of as much importance to our hot bodies as if a pistol had been clapped to our heads. Further back, there were times when we wondered with all our souls, what the world was, what love was, what we were ourselves. T. H. White
I did not make myself the heroine of my tales. Life appeared to me too common-place an affair as regarded myself. I could not figure to myself that romantic woes or wonderful events would ever by my lot; but I was not confided to my own identify, and I could people the hours with creations far more interesting to me at that age than my own sensations. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
At the most difficult moments of my life, when it seemed that every door was closed to me, the taste of those apricots comes back to comfort me with the notion that abundance is always within reach, if only one knows how to find it. Isabel Allende
Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made. I try to act in that gap between the two.- 1959, from a catalogue Robert Rauschenberg
Deep hearts, sage minds, take life as God has made it; it is a long trial, an incomprehensible preparation for an unknown destiny. This destiny, the true one, begins for a man with the first step inside the tomb. Then something appears to him, and he begins to distinguish the definitive. The definitive, meditate upon that word. The living perceive the infinite; the definitive permits itself to be seen only by the dead. In the meanwhile, love and suffer, hope and contemplate. Woe, alas! to him... Victor Hugo
