Life Quotes (page 732)

They are ordinarily men to whom forms are of paramount importance. Their field of action lies among the external phenomena of life. They possess the vast ability in grasping, and arranging, and appropriating to themselves the big, heavy, solid unrealities, such as gold, landed estate, offices of trust and emolument, and public honors. With these materials, and with deeds of goodly aspect, done in the public eye, an individual of this class builds up, as it were, a tall and stately edifice,... Nathaniel Hawthorne
Emerson, I am trying to live, as you said we must, the examined life. But there are days I wish there was less in my head to examine, not to speak of the busy heart. Mary Oliver
Milan Kundera quote: "the less her life resembled that sweetest of dreams, the more..."

David Sedaris quote: "It's unrealistic to live your life within such strict parameters."
It's unrealistic to live your life within such strict parameters. David Sedaris
we must judge men not so much by what they, as by what they make us feel that they have it in them to do. If a man has done enough in either painting, music, or the affairs of life, to make me feel that I might trust him in an emergency he has done enough Samuel Butler
Steve Jobs quote: "We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one..."
We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Steve Jobs
In the kitchen, Chub clung to the wall, made no sound whatsoever, but his mouth opened and closed, opened and closed, as he told himself, kept telling himself, that life was material, everything was material - you just had to live long enough to see how to use it. William Goldman
George Eliot quote: "scepticism, as we know, can never be thoroughly applied, else..."

To write is to forget. Literature is the pleasantest way of ignoring life. Fernando Pessoa
Khalil Gibran quote: "They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself."
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. Khalil Gibran
There's something sad about people going to bed. You can see they don't give a damn whether they're getting what they want out of life or not, you can see they don't even try to understand what we're here for. They just don't care. Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "That's the best revenge of all: happiness. Nothing drives..."
That's the best revenge of all: happiness. Nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone have a good fricken life. Chuck Palahniuk
if you were designing an organism to look after life in our lonely cosmos, to monitor where it is going and keep a record of where it has been, you wouldn't choose human beings for the job. But here's an extrememly salient point: we have been chosen, by fate or Providence or whatever you wish to call it. As far as we can tell, we are the best there is. We may be all there is. It's an unnerving thought that we may be the living universe's supreme achievement and its worst nightmare... Bill Bryson
Richard Bach quote: "This is a test to see if your mission in this life is..."
This is a test to see if your mission in this life is complete, if you are alive, it isn't. Richard Bach
Remember that there is only one important time and it is Now. The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion. The most important person is always the person with whom you are, who is right before you, for who knows if you will have dealings with any other person in the future? The most important pursuit is making that person, the one standing at you side, happy, for that alone is the pursuit of life. Leo Tolstoy
