Life Is Quotes (page 169)

If, as I suspect, my body survives by uttering itself over and over again, then I have some questions. If [I] am one word, so are my daughters, so are all of us in strings and loops. Each life is one short word slowly uttered. Louise Erdrich
Oswald Chambers quote: "The degree of panic activity in my life is equal to the degree..."
The degree of panic activity in my life is equal to the degree of my lack of personal spiritual experience. Oswald Chambers
Meditation needs no results. Meditation can have itself as an end, I meditate without words and on nothingness. What tangles my life is writing. Helene Cixous
I believe in some blending of hope and sunshine sweetening the worst lots. I believe that this life is not all; neither the beginning nor the end. I believe while I tremble; I trust while I weep. Charlotte Bronte
Langston Hughes quote: "Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die. Life is a..."
Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die. Life is a broken-winged bird, That cannot fly. Langston Hughes
The infinite space that each man carries within himself, wherein despairingly he contrasts the movement of his spirit with the acts of his life, is and overpowering thing. Victor Hugo
And again and again I have to remind myself the whole art of life is to lean on people, to involve oneself with them quite fearlessly and yet? when the props are kicked away? remain leaning, as it were, on empty air. Like levitation. Christopher Isherwood

I've always thought I could use my brain and my heart to jockey everyone around to the good. But life is not jockeyable. When you try, you make people infinitely crazier than they already were, including or especially yourself. Anne Lamott
Virginia Woolf quote: "Among the tortures and devestations of life is this then - our..."
Among the tortures and devestations of life is this then - our friends are not able to finish their stories. Virginia Woolf
Jackie Collins quote: "Your whole life is ahead of you. Don't you ever forget that."
Your whole life is ahead of you. Don't you ever forget that. Jackie Collins
Ernest Hemingway quote: "I can't stand it to think my life is going so fast and I'm not..."
I can't stand it to think my life is going so fast and I'm not really living it. Ernest Hemingway
And that's the insult of it, how always it comes back to a woman being a "good" mother in the world's eyes or a "bad" mother, how everything in a woman's life is funneled through her body between her legs. Joyce Carol Oates
After the bare requisites to living and reproducing, man wants most to leave some record of himself, a proof, perhaps, that he has really existed. He leaves his proof on wood, on stone or on the lives of other people. This deep desire exists in everyone, from the boy who writes dirty words in a public toilet to the Buddha who etches his image in the race mind. Life is so unreal. I think that we seriously doubt that we exist and go about trying to prove that we do. John Steinbeck
Alas, how easily things go wrong! A sigh too much, a kiss too long. And there follows a mist and a weeping rain. And life is never the same again George MacDonald
