Life Quotes (page 807)

Steven Pinker quote: "If the cartoon were completely accurate, though, life would be..."
If the cartoon were completely accurate, though, life would be a cacophany of spoinks. Steven Pinker
What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'? Friedrich Nietzsche
Evelyn Waugh quote: "[Change is] the only evidence of life."
[Change is] the only evidence of life. Evelyn Waugh
I find this to be true of my spiritual life, and maybe it applies to yours as well: I think about things more than I do them; I ponder what seems their goodness more than I perform them. As if my thought alone were enough. But a thought alone isn’t quite enough; it’s an impulse and not a commitment, a passing thing that doesn’t take root unless you plant it and make it grow. Peggy Noonan
You can't teach children to be good. The best you can do for your child is to live a good life yourself. What a parent knows and believes, the child will lean on. Bruno Bettelheim
Rhonda Byrne quote: "There is no such thing as a hopeless situation. Every single..."
There is no such thing as a hopeless situation. Every single circumstances of your life can change! Rhonda Byrne
Queer, how a man can neglect his children, as I have done ... when the thing he wants most in life is to see each one ...happy. Ernest Poole
Little mouse, you were so quick, so bright, so sweet, so full of life. And you still are everything you were then. None of it’s lost forever. All that promise, all that hope, that love and goodness—it’s still inside you. No one can take the gifts God gave you. Only you. Dean Koontz
There has never been a time in my life when I felt that I could take a gun and shoot down a fellow-being. In this respect I am a Quaker. Dwight L. Moody
Carol Burnett quote: "No one ever said life was fair. Just Eventful."
No one ever said life was fair. Just Eventful. Carol Burnett
We don't understand that life is heaven, for we have only to understand that and it will at once be fulfilled in all its beauty, we shall embrace each other and weep. Fyodor Dostoevsky
What I should like to find is a crime the effects of which would be perpetual, even when I myself do not act, so that there would not be a single moment of my life even when I were asleep, when I was not the cause of some chaos, a chaos of such proportions that it would provoke a general corruption or a distubance so formal that even after my death its effects would still be felt. Marquis de Sade
Worst fears: That God was not good. That the earth you stood upon shifted, and chasms yawned; that people, falling, clutched one another for help and none was forthcoming. That the basis of all things was evil. That the beauty of the evening, now settling in a yellow glow on the stone of The Cottage barns, the swallows dipping and soaring, a sudden host of butterflies in the long grasses in the foreground, was a lie; a deceitful sheen on which hopeful visions flitted momentarily, and... Fay Weldon
I only regret that everybody wants to deprive me of the journal, which is the only steadfast friend I have, the only one which makes my life bearable, because my happiness with human beings is so precarious, my confiding moods rare, and the least sign of non-interest is enough to silence me. In the journal I am at ease. Anais Nin
Colleen McCullough quote: "What was sleep? A blessing, a respite from life, an echo of..."
What was sleep? A blessing, a respite from life, an echo of death, a demanding nuisance? Colleen McCullough
