Life Quotes (page 533)

Abigail Adams quote: "It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a..."
It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. Abigail Adams
Characters take on life sometimes by luck, but I suspect it is when you can write more entirely out of yourself, inside the skin, heart, mind, and soul of a person who is not yourself, that a character becomes in his own right another human being on the page. Eudora Welty
Meg Cabot quote: "Unrequited love is all right in books and things, but in real..."
Unrequited love is all right in books and things, but in real life, it completely sucks Meg Cabot
A truce to philosophy!—Life is before me, and I rush into possession. Hope, glory, love, and blameless ambition are my guides, and my soul knows no dread. What has been, though sweet, is gone; the present is good only because it is about to change, and the to come is all my own. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
I don't think jealousy has much of a connection with real, objective conditions. Like if you're fortunate you're not jealous, but if life hasn't blessed you, you are jealous. Jealousy doesn't work that way. It's more like a tumor secretly growing inside us that gets bigger and bigger, beyond all reason. Even if you find out it's there, there's nothing you can do to stop it. Haruki Murakami
Men are born soft and supple; dead they are stiff and hard. Plants are born tender and pliant; dead, they are brittle and dry. Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death. Whoever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life. The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail. Lao Tzu
To acknowledge our ancestors means we are aware that we did not make ourselves, that the line stretches all the way back, perhaps to God; or to Gods. We remember them because it is an easy thing to forget: that we are not the first to suffer, rebel, fight, love and die. The grace with which we embrace life, in spite of the pain, the sorrow, is always a measure of what has gone before. Alice Walker
If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we would find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
P. J. O'Rourke quote: "A hat should be taken off when greeting a lady, and left off..."
A hat should be taken off when greeting a lady, and left off the rest of your life. Nothing looks more stupid than a hat. P. J. O'Rourke
She remained both girl and woman to the last day of her life. Under a grave and gentle exterior burned inextinguishable fires of sympathy, energy, devotion, enthusiasm, and absolutely limitless affection. Mark Twain
Each moment of our life, we either invoke or destroy our dreams. We call upon it to become a fact, or we cancel our previous instructions. Stuart Wilde
Just because i know how to change a guys oil doesn't mean i want to spend the rest of my life on my back, staring up his undercarriage. Janet Evanovich
Paulo Coelho quote: "a man is alsoa woman; he wants to find someone, to give..."
a man is alsoa woman; he wants to find someone, to give meaning to his life. Paulo Coelho
Alfred Korzybski quote: "There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe..."
There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe everything or doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking. Alfred Korzybski
...we never cease hoping--and thus did our Judge condemn us to suffer in saecula.' Ferrante asked: 'But what is it that you hope for?' You might as well ask what you will hope for yourself. ...You will hope that a wisp of wind, the slightest swell of the tide, the arrival of a single hungry leech, can return us, atom by atom, to the great Void of the Universe, where we would somehow again participate in the cycle of life. Umberto Eco
