Life Quotes (page 853)

Say what we will, you may be sure that ambition is an error; its wear and tear of heart are never recompensed, --it steals away the freshness of life, --it deadens its vivid and social enjoyments, --it shuts our souls to our own youth, --and we are old ere we remember that we have made a fever and a labor of our raciest years. Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
Tristan Tzara quote: "You'll never know why you exist, but you'll always allow..."
You'll never know why you exist, but you'll always allow yourselves to be easily persuaded to take life seriously. Tristan Tzara
no form of love is wrong, so long as it is love, and you yourself honour what you are doing. Love has an extraordinary variety of forms! And that is all there is in life, it seems to me. But I grant you, if you deny the variety of love you deny love altogether. If you try to specialize love into one set of accepted feelings, you wound the very soul of love. Love must be multi-form, else it is just tyranny, just death David Herbert Lawrence
Suppose God wants to teach you to say, "I know how to be abased"--are you ready to be offered up like that? Are you ready to be not so much as a drop in a bucket--to be so hopelessly insignificant that you are never thought of again in connection with the life you served? Are you willing to spend and be spent; not seeking to be ministered unto, but to minister? Oswald Chambers
Jose Ortega y Gasset quote: "The poet begins where the man ends. The man's lot is to live..."
The poet begins where the man ends. The man's lot is to live his human life, the poet's to invent what is nonexistent. Jose Ortega y Gasset
This is the Great Theatre of Life. Admission is free, but the taxation is mortal. You come when you can, and leave when you must. The show is continuous. Goodnight. Robertson Davies
I done learned my mistake and learned to do what's right by it. You still trying to get something for nothing. Life don't owe you nothing. You owe it to yourself.- Troy - August Wilson
George Eliot quote: "For pain must enter into its glorified life of memory before..."
For pain must enter into its glorified life of memory before it can turn into compassion. George Eliot
I had once thought strength of character was a hardening of oneself; an intricate protection system by which you reconciled yourself to the truths of life and learned to let them not bother you. But all systems of character building go right out the window when you find there aren't anymore truths.. or none you recognize. Jonathan Carroll
Natalie Goldberg quote: "This is your life. You are responsible for it. You will not..."
This is your life. You are responsible for it. You will not live forever. Don't wait. Natalie Goldberg
Why do progress and beauty have to be so opposed? ; 75Also, as in war, the case, like a great bubbling cauldron of life itself, threw up both good and evil. Greed, madness, cruelty and indifference were countered by goodness, devotion, self-sacrifice, and courage. p 178 Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Ben Okri quote: "This is what you must be like. Grow wherever life puts you down."
This is what you must be like. Grow wherever life puts you down. Ben Okri
What is perceptible to one’s mistrust is the cut-and-dried way that life is divided up and the ready-made form it assumes, the ever-recurring sameness of it, the pre-formations passed down by generation after generation, the ready-made language not only of the tongue but also of the sensations and the feelings. Robert Musil
Nicholas Sparks quote: "The ocean has been singing to me, and the song is that of our..."
The ocean has been singing to me, and the song is that of our life together... Nicholas Sparks
Even in the most insignificant details of our daily life, none of us can be said to constitute a material whole, which is identical for everyone, and need only be turned up like a page in an account-book or the record of a will; our social personality is created by the thoughts of other people. Marcel Proust
