Life Quotes (page 667)

Linus: What would you say you want most out of life, Charlie Brown? To be happy? CB: Oh, no. I don't expect that. I really don't. I just don't want to be unhappy! Charles M. Schulz
My life is absolutely meaningless. When I consider the different periods into which it falls, it seems like the word Schnur in the dictionary, which means in the first place a string, in the second, a daughter-in-law. The only thing lacking is that the word Schnur should mean in the third place a camel, in the fourth, a dust-brush. Soren Kierkegaard
you shall above all things be glad and young. For if you're young, whatever life you wearit will become you; and if you are gladwhatever's living will yourself become. E. E. Cummings
But I've discovered being a writer is an ongoing apprenticeship, just like everything else in life that matters to me-being a mother, a wife, a daughter, or simply a woman alive in the world, content to be myself. Today at thirty-two, I am glad to wake up each day and begin. Sue Monk Kidd
In a belated moment of inspiration, I decided to finish it with the announcement that with this column I was bringing to a happy conclusion a long and worthy life without the sad necessity of having to die. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Dave Pelzer quote: "I just don't want to forget this first day of the rest of my..."
I just don't want to forget this first day of the rest of my life! Dave Pelzer
You have asked me what I would do and what I would not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use--silence, exile, and cunning. James Joyce
There are always a few such people who demand the utmost of life and yet cannot come to terms with its stupidity and crudeness. Herman Hesse
Man is not by any means of fixed and enduring form (this, in spite of suspicions to the contrary on the part of their wise men, was the ideal of the ancients). He is nothing else than the narrow and perilous bridge between nature and spirit. His innermost destiny drives him on to the spirit and to God. His innermost longing draws him back to nature, the mother. Between the two forces his life hangs tremulous and irresolute. Herman Hesse
Any concentration of the will displaces life and gives it bias in motion. Reality, he believed, was always trying to copy the imagination of man, from which it derived. Lawrence Durrell
They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming. Herman Hesse
The evasions of her little novel were exactly those of her life. Everything she did not wish to confront was also missing from her novella--and was necessary to it. Ian Mcewan
. . . these men and these women, standing before the mirror of their life, spit every day in the face of what they were with the sputum of what they are. Jose Saramago
A soul mate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communication and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace. This kind of relationship is so important to the soul that many have said there is nothing more precious in life. Thomas Moore
For life be, after all, only a waitin' for somethin' else than what we're doin'; and death be all that we can rightly depend on. Bram Stoker
