Live Quotes (page 402)

We live in the midst of a gloomy society. Success; that is the lesson which falls drop by drop from the slope of corruption. Be it said in passing, that success is a very hideous thing. Its false resemblance to merit deceives men. For the masses, success has almost the same profile as supremacy. Success, that Menaechmus of talent, has one dupe,--history. Victor Hugo
Iain Banks quote: "The bomb lives only as it is falling."
The bomb lives only as it is falling. Iain Banks
That's the way it is. The intelligence of the mind can't think of any reason to live, but it goes on anyway because the intelligence of the cells can't think of any reason to die Robert M. Pirsig
Milan Kundera quote: "Tomas lived under the hypnotic spell cast by the excruciating..."
Tomas lived under the hypnotic spell cast by the excruciating beauty of Tereza's dreams. Milan Kundera
I am wild, I will sing to the trees, I will sing to the stars in the sky, I love, I am loved, he is mine, Now at last I can die! I am sandaled with wind and with flame, I have heart-fire and singing to give, I can tread on the grass or the stars, Now at last I can live! Sara Teasdale

For every thing that lives is Holy. William Blake
Romain Gary quote: "As long as you live, you hope. You think that everything will..."
As long as you live, you hope. You think that everything will just...get better. Romain Gary
Once upon a time, wasn’t singing a part of everyday life as much as talking, physical exercise, and religion? Our distant ancestors, wherever they were in this world, sang while pounding grain, paddling canoes, or walking long journeys. Can we begin to make our lives once more all of a piece? Finding the right songs and singing them over and over is a way to start. And when one person taps out a beat, while another leads into the melody, or when three people discover a harmony they never knew... Pete Seeger
The most extraordinary thing about the oyster is this. Irritation gets into his shell. He does not like them. But when he cannot get rid of them he uses the irritation to do the lovelist thing an oyster ever has the chance to do. If there are irritations in our lives today, there is only one prescription: make a pearl. It may have to be a pearl of patience, but…make a pearl. -In the Treasure Chest, ed. Charles L. Wallis Harry Emerson Fosdick
A stydy today of the products of the animated cartoon industry of the twenties, thirties and forties would yield the following theology: 1. People are animals. 2. The body is mortal and subject to incredible pain. 3. Life is antagonistic to the living. 4. The flesh can be sawed, crushed, frozen, stretched, burned, bombed, and plucked for music. 5. The dumb are abused by the smart and the smart are destroyed by their own cunning. 6. The small are tortured by the large and the large... E. L. Doctorow
We live in a world of accidents, in which only aesthetic principles have a consistency of which we can be sure. Right and wrong we will struggle with forever, striving to create and maintain an ethical balance; but the shimmer of rain under the street lamps or the great flashing glare of artillery against a night sky- such brutal beauty is beyond dispute. Anne Rice
A tendency that’s run through your family for generations can stop with you. You’re a transition person – a link between past and future. And your own change can affect many, many lives downstream. Stephen Covey
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: " you never knew exactly how much space you occupied in..."
... you never knew exactly how much space you occupied in people`s lives. F. Scott Fitzgerald
I am obsessed with you, angel. Addicted to you. You're everything i've ever wanted or needed, everything i've dreamed of. You're everything. I live and breathe you. For you. Sylvia Day
Rumi quote: "There is little one can say about love. It has to be lived,..."
There is little one can say about love. It has to be lived, and it's always in motion. Rumi
