Life Is Quotes (page 113)

Plutarch quote: "The whole of life is but a moment of time. It is our duty,..."
The whole of life is but a moment of time. It is our duty, therefore to use it, not to misuse it. Plutarch
Oscar Wilde quote: "The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible?..."
The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible? What the second duty is no one has as yet discovered. Oscar Wilde
All good things require effort. That which is worth having will cost part of your physical being, your intellectual power and your soul power. Let us ever keep in mind that life is largely what we make it. David O. McKay
In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. Mahatma Gandhi
... freedom translates into having a supply of clean water, having electricity on tap; being able to live in a decent home and have a good job; to be able to send your children to school and to have accessible healthcare. I mean what's the point of having made this transition if the quality of life ... is not enhanced and improved? If not, the vote is useless. Desmond Tutu
I hate solitude, but i'm afraid if intimacy. The substance of my life is a private conversation with myself which to turn into a dialogue would be equivalent to self-destruction. The company which I need is the company which a pub or a cafe will provide. I have never wanted a communion of souls. It's already hard enough to tell the truth to oneself. Iris Murdoch
Henry Rollins quote: "Half of life is fucking up, the other half is dealing with it."
Half of life is fucking up, the other half is dealing with it. Henry Rollins
…when writing, always hook the reader with your first sentence…in love, never settle…value yourself first and this will help you to value others…life is short, so enjoy it to the fullest…everyone in the world is different, and that’s ok… Spider Robinson
Being polite is not only the right way to respond to people but also the easiest. Life is so filled with unavoidable conflict that I see no reason to promote more confrontations. Dean Koontz
It is obvious enough for the reader to conclude, "She loves young Emerson." A reader in Lucy's place would not find it obvious. Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice, and we welcome "nerves" or any other shibboleth that will cloak our personal desire. She loved Cecil; George made her nervous; will the reader explain to her that the phrases should have been reversed? E. M. Forster
But I gotta tell you, I just think to look across this room and automatically assume that somebody else is less aware than me, or that somehow their interior life is less rich and complicated and acutely perceived than mine, makes me not a good writer. Because that means I'm going to be performing for a faceless audience instead of trying to have a conversation with a person. David Foster Wallace
Even the most miserable life is better than a sheltered existence in an organized society where everything is calculated and perfected. Federico Fellini
Neil Gaiman quote: "This is crazy', said Shadow. Like the rest of your life is..."
This is crazy', said Shadow. Like the rest of your life is sane? Give me a fucking break. Neil Gaiman
Who are we, who is each one of us, if not a combination of experiences, information, books we have read, thingsimagined? Each life is an encyclopedia, a library, an inventory of objects, a series of styles, and everything can beconstantly shuffled and reordered in every way conceivable. Italo Calvino
Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched—love for instance—we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next. Virginia Woolf
